This bill, H.F. No. 1390, proposes an appropriation of $500,000 from Minnesota's general fund in fiscal year 2026 for a grant to the 1854 Treaty Authority. The grant is designated to support a study on bear populations within the ceded territory described in the September 30, 1854, treaty between the Lake Superior Chippewa and the U.S. government. The study must assess current bear population levels, identify factors impacting them, and estimate future population trends. The 1854 Treaty Authority is required to submit the study's findings by December 31, 2026, to the relevant legislative committees overseeing environmental policy.
