Minnesota SF632 mandates an annual open season for wolves until delisted under federal Endangered Species Act.

Minnesota SF632 amends state statutes to require the commissioner to set an annual open season for wolves until they are delisted under the federal Endangered Species Act of 1973. Post-delisting, the commissioner may set open seasons and restrictions but must allow public comment. These seasons must align with the wolf management plan. The commissioner must consult annually with the agriculture commissioner and the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, reviewing data on wolf depredation and human conflict incidents.
