This bill proposes amendments to Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 299M.10, to establish a State Fire Marshal Account within the special revenue fund. Currently, fees, penalties, and other funds collected under this statute are primarily credited to the general fund. The amendment redirects these funds to the newly created state fire marshal account instead.

Additionally, the bill ensures that money in the state fire marshal account is annually appropriated to the Commissioner of Public Safety for administering fire safety programs.

In summary, this bill aims to establish a dedicated funding source for the State Fire Marshal Division, rather than placing collected funds into the general state budget.
