Bill > HF1546

This bill repeals six outdated Minnesota state statutes related to fire safety measures that pre-date the current statewide fire code. Specifically, the repealed sections cover detailed regulations about match manufacturing, packaging, storage, and sales (section 325F.02), flame resistance requirements for public assembly tents (section 325F.03), restrictions on selling or manufacturing tents that are not flame resistant (section 325F.04), rulemaking authority for flame resistance standards (section 325F.05), civil penalties for violations of tent safety regulations (section 325F.06), and criminal penalties for tent safety regulation violations (section 325F.07). These statutes appear to be highly specific technical regulations that likely have been superseded by more comprehensive modern fire safety codes and standards, making their removal a housekeeping measure to streamline state statutes and remove redundant or outdated legal provisions related to fire safety equipment and public assembly spaces.
