The bill establishes a state fire marshal account within the special revenue fund, which will be funded by fees and penalties collected under the relevant chapter. It amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 299M.10, to specify that money received by the State Fire Marshal Division, including gifts, grants, and reimbursements, will be deposited into this new account rather than the general fund.

Additionally, the bill provides that the funds in the state fire marshal account are to be annually appropriated to the commissioner of public safety for the administration of programs related to fire safety. This change aims to streamline funding and ensure that resources are specifically allocated for public safety initiatives under the jurisdiction of the State Fire Marshal.
