This bill amends several sections of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska related to the State Fire Marshal, primarily focusing on changes to fees associated with permits and licenses for fireworks, fire alarm inspections, and water-based fire protection systems. Notably, the fee for a display permit for fireworks has increased from ten to one hundred dollars, while the fees for distributor, jobber, and retailer licenses have been adjusted to one thousand, four hundred, and one hundred dollars respectively. Additionally, the bill introduces a late submittal fee for plans submitted after construction has begun, which is set at one hundred dollars plus fifty percent of the plan review fee.

The bill also establishes new fee structures for inspections and permits related to fire safety and storage tanks. For instance, the inspection fee for fire safety has been modified to range from fifty to three hundred dollars, and the registration fee for tanks has been increased to no more than sixty dollars. Furthermore, the bill mandates that all fees collected be remitted to the State Treasurer for credit to the appropriate funds, including the State Fire Marshal Cash Fund and the Underground Storage Tank Fund. The act is declared an emergency measure, taking effect immediately upon passage and approval.
