HF1086

The bill H.F. No. 1086, introduced by Representative Huot and referred to the Committee on Public Safety Finance and Policy, proposes an amendment to Minnesota Statutes 2024, specifically section 299M.10. This amendment primarily focuses on the financial management of fees, penalties, gifts, grants, reimbursements, and appropriations received by the State Fire Marshal Division.

Previously, these funds were deposited into the general fund of the state treasury. However, under this new bill, such funds will instead be directed into a newly established "state fire marshal account" within the special revenue fund. This account will specifically allocate monies annually to the commissioner of public safety, for the purpose of administering programs under the same chapter.

Summary of changes made by the bill: 1. Establishment of the state fire marshal account in the special revenue fund. 2. Redirecting funds from the general fund to the state fire marshal account. 3. Specifying that the funds in the new account are to be used by the commissioner of public safety for administration of related programs.
