AI Generated Summary
The bill SF No 469 is concerned with setting aside money to compensate for damage caused by wolves and elk to livestock, crops, and fences in Minnesota. Specifically, it proposes appropriations for fiscal years 2026 and 2027. The money would be managed by the Commissioner of Agriculture and could be accessed in the first year if initial funds are not sufficient to cover all claims. Additionally, some of the funds may be used to cover expenses incurred by university extension agents in assessing the fair market value of damaged or destroyed livestock. Lastly, if the claims for damages due to wolves and elk are unusually high, the Commissioner has the flexibility to redirect funds between the two compensation programs.
