(a) Unless subdivision 3a applies, a person must have a permit from the commissioner to conduct a fishing contest if: (1) there are more than 25 boats for open water contests, more than 150 participants for ice fishing contests, or more than 100 participants for shore fishing contests; (2) entry fees are more than $25 per person; or (3) the contest is limited to trout species. (b) The commissioner shall charge a fee for the permit that recovers the costs of issuing the permit and of monitoring the activities allowed by the permit. Notwithstanding section 16A.1283, the commissioner may, by written order published in the State Register, establish contest permit fees. The fees are not subject to the rulemaking provisions of chapter 14 and section 14.386 does not apply. (c) The commissioner may require the applicant to furnish evidence of financial responsibility in the form of a surety bond or bank letter of credit in the amount of $25,000 if entry fees are over $25 per person, or total prizes are valued at more than $25,000, and if the applicant has either: (1) not previously conducted a fishing contest requiring a permit under this subdivision; or (2) ever failed to make required prize awards in a fishing contest conducted by the applicant. (d) The permit fee for any individual contest may not exceed the following amounts: (1) $70 for an open water contest not exceeding 50 boats and without off-site weigh-in; (2) $225 for an open water contest with more than 50 boats and without off-site weigh-in; (3) $280 for an open water contest not exceeding 50 boats with off-site weigh-in; (4) $560 for an open water contest with more than 50 boats with off-site weigh-in; (5) $135 for an ice fishing contest with more than 150 participants; or (6) $50 for a contest where all participants are age 18 years or under.
