SF3515

Purpose

• The bill is a housekeeping measure intended to correct miscellaneous oversights, inconsistencies, ambiguities, unintended results, and technical errors in Minnesota law.

Main Provisions

• Amends Minnesota Statutes 2024 section 17.354 to read as 17.354 APPLICATION, reorganizing the section’s structure and numbering so the content sits under an “APPLICATION” heading (noted as 17.354 APPLICATION.1.8 in the text).
• Adds clarifying language that sections 17.351 to 17.353 and 17.352 do not affect provisions of law relating to wild animals.

Significant Changes to Existing Law

• Structural change: The 17.354 section is renamed/relabeled to 17.354 APPLICATION and its subparts are reorganized accordingly. This appears to be a technical formatting or numbering update rather than a policy shift.
• Scope clarification: Explicitly states that the sections 17.351–17.353 and 17.352 do not impact or alter laws relating to wild animals, preserving existing wildlife-related provisions separate from the 17.354 application framework.
• No substantive policy changes to wildlife law are indicated in the excerpt; the changes are focused on correcting administrative/legislative drafting issues.

Effective Date (notes)

• The excerpt does not specify an effective date or implementation timeline.
