This bill updates and increases various fees related to fire safety and regulation in Nebraska. Specifically, the bill raises the permit fee for public fireworks displays from $10 to $100, increases fireworks sales license fees for distributors from $500 to $1,000, jobbers from $200 to $400, and retailers from $25 to $100. The legislation also increases the maximum fee for fire alarm inspector certification from $100 to $200, adjusts late submittal fees for remodeling or construction plans, raises fire safety inspection fees from a range of $25-$150 to $50-$300, and increases fees for water-based fire protection system contractor certificates from $100 to $200. Additionally, the bill raises the registration fee for heating oil tanks from $5 to $10 and modifies underground storage tank installation and registration permit fees, with the installation permit increasing from $50 to $75 and the annual registration permit potentially increasing from $30 to $60 per tank. All these fee increases are designed to help cover the actual costs of performing various fire safety and inspection services, with the collected fees being remitted to specific state funds. The bill includes an emergency clause, meaning it will take effect immediately upon passage.
