This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 88.15, by adding a new subdivision that prohibits violations of the campfire maintenance law from being classified as payable offenses. Specifically, it states that the Judicial Council cannot include such violations on the uniform fine schedule, thereby preventing them from being treated as minor infractions that can be resolved through payment of a fine.

The new legal language introduced in this bill emphasizes the seriousness of violations related to campfire maintenance by ensuring they are not subject to the same treatment as other minor offenses. The effective date for this amendment is set for August 1, 2026, and it will apply to any violations occurring on or after that date.
