At the start of session MLR was asked by jet ski advocates if we would support legislation lowering the hours of operation for jet skis from the current time of 9:30am to 8:00am.

Watercraft surcharges Update

Starting Jan. 1, Minnesotans will pay a higher surcharge on boats and other watercraft licenses to help pay for controlling aquatic invasive species.
Lawmakers raised the annual watercraft AIS surcharge from the current $10.60 to between $14 and $62, depending on the boat size, type and use. A watercraft license is valid for three years.
The last time the AIS surcharge was raised was 2019.

A friendly & important reminder from Keep it Clean Minnesota:
Ice is no place for your garbage and waste. Legally contain and dispose of it.
To help stop litter and human waste from spoiling our lakes, rivers and shorelines:
Make a Plan
Make a plan for trash and waste removal before you hit the ice.
Use colored garbage bags.
Colored garbage bags are easier to see.
Do not place garbage and waste on or under the ice.
It's the law.
Make Sure Your Garbage is Secure Before Departing.
This will help prevent it from blowing out of truck beds and off trailers and sleds.
Remove all materials when moving a fish house.
This includes wood blocking, insulation and other items.
It takes all of us working together to Keep It Clean! Thank you for doing your part to ensure the health of our lakes, rivers, fisheries and watershed areas.

We hope everyone is having some winter fun but please be very careful when going out on the ice. Drill test holes as you go, remember that ice thickness is not uniform, and the quality of ice is also a factor. Always remember - better safe than sorry.
