This law goes into effect August 1, 2002. The complete text of this law is printed below, with a further explanation on the next page. Minnesota Statute 245A.151, Fire Marshal Inspection When licensure under this chapter requires an inspection by a fire marshal to determine compliance with the Minnesota Uniform Fire Code under section 299F.011, a local fire code inspector approved by the state fire marshal may conduct the inspection. If a community does not have a local fire code inspector or if the local fire code inspector does not perform the inspection, the state fire marshal must conduct the inspection. A local fire code inspector or the state fire marshal may recover the cost of these inspections through a fee of no more than $50 per inspection charged to the applicant or license holder. The fees collected by the state fire marshal under this section are appropriated to the commissioner of public safety for the purpose of conducting the inspections. $1 1)'1) ('<Ill 111';/'\",'11\\1\ ""c' 1-:lll ~;il\xl ,\ 1I1'1I',[ I, III' I,ll')
