State Building Code; commissioner of labor and industry required to amend rules related to school storm shelters.

This bill directs the commissioner of labor and industry to update storm shelter construction rules to exclude Group E schools, which are typically smaller facilities like preschools or daycare centers. The change would remove the current requirement for these specific school types to build dedicated storm shelters, potentially reducing construction costs and regulatory burdens for smaller educational facilities. The legislation uses a fast-track rulemaking process that allows the commissioner to adopt the changes without going through the standard public hearing procedures. This policy adjustment directly affects school districts and building officials responsible for constructing or maintaining storm shelters in Minnesota.
