This bill authorizes volunteer emergency services providers, such as volunteer firefighters and ambulance attendants, to purchase up to four tires for their personal vehicles every three years under municipal contracts for tire purchases. To qualify, the volunteer must have served for at least three years and be currently active. The bill specifies that the volunteer must cover all costs associated with the tire purchase, including taxes and fees.

Additionally, the bill outlines the requirements for municipalities or fire departments to provide written authorization for these purchases. This authorization must include the volunteer's name, years of service, vehicle license plate number, and a reference to the relevant tire purchase contract. Furthermore, municipalities or fire departments are required to keep records of the number of tires purchased by each volunteer during the specified periods. The new legal language is proposed to be added to Minnesota Statutes, chapter 471, under the new section [471.3458].
