The bill aims to enhance public safety by repealing outdated fire safety measures that predate the statewide fire code in Minnesota. Specifically, it repeals Minnesota Statutes 2024, sections 325F.02 through 325F.07, which include regulations on the manufacture, storage, and sale of matches, as well as requirements for flame-resistant public assembly tents and associated penalties for violations. The repeal is intended to streamline fire safety regulations and eliminate provisions that are no longer relevant or necessary under the current statewide fire code.

By removing these statutes, the bill seeks to modernize the legal framework governing fire safety in Minnesota, ensuring that regulations are up-to-date and reflective of current safety standards. The repealed sections included detailed requirements for match safety, labeling, and storage, as well as rules regarding the use of flame-resistant materials in public assembly tents. The bill emphasizes the importance of maintaining effective and relevant safety measures while eliminating those that have become obsolete.
