Minnesota HF275 modifies trapping regulations, including snare tending frequency and trap placement near water.

Minnesota HF275 amends trapping laws by adjusting the frequency of snare tending and restricting trap placement near water bodies. Snares that cannot drown animals must be tended at least once every third day, and traps must not be set within 50 feet of water, except for foot-encapsulating traps during specific periods. The bill also repeals a rule requiring daily tending of non-drowning snares.
