The bill SF No 657 proposes to allow minnow dealers, retailers, or those holding a private fish hatchery license in Minnesota to import live minnows from other states without needing a permit under specific emergency conditions. This measure is intended to ensure there's a sufficient supply of bait available when local supplies are inadequate. According to the bill, "inadequate supply" is defined as not having enough bait to meet demand for at least one day. Those importing minnows must notify the commissioner within 48 hours after doing so, but they won't need a permit for the import. The commissioner retains the authority to inspect the imported minnows and related documents to check the quantity, source, species, and health status of the minnows.
