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 fireworks permit is increased from ten dollars to one hundred dollars, while the fees for distributor, jobber, and retailer licenses are raised to one thousand dollars, four hundred dollars, and one hundred dollars, respectively. Additionally, the bill introduces a late submittal fee for plans submitted after construction has begun, and it establishes a new fee structure for various inspections and certifications, including a maximum fee of two hundred dollars for fire alarm inspection certifications.

The bill also includes provisions for the registration of tanks used for storing heating oil, with a one-time fee increased from five dollars to ten dollars, and it mandates that the registration fee for operating tanks not exceed sixty dollars. Furthermore, it repeals the original sections of the statutes that are being amended, ensuring that the new fee structures and regulations are effectively implemented. The bill declares an emergency, allowing it to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
