SF 1578 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Outdated fire safety measures pre-dating the statewide fire code repealer

SF 1578 repeals outdated Minnesota statutes (325F.02 to 325F.07) that set specific rules for match safety, including packaging requirements and storage limits for retailers and warehouses. These rules, which predated a statewide fire code repeal, are no longer relevant as they were superseded by modern fire safety standards. The bill removes these redundant provisions from state law, simplifying regulatory requirements. This change directly affects businesses that handle matches, such as manufacturers, retailers, and distributors in Minnesota.
