SF 1601 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Steam boilers rules adoption by the commissioner directing provision

This bill directs Minnesota's commissioner of labor and industry to amend specific rules (Minnesota Rules, part 5225.1180) to allow certain high-pressure steam boilers to operate under the same procedures as low-pressure steam boilers. It directly affects boiler operators and manufacturers using these specific high-pressure systems. The key provision changes the regulatory treatment, permitting operational flexibility without altering safety standards. The rule change would apply to low mass high-pressure steam boilers already in use, aligning their operational rules with those for low-pressure boilers. The amendment becomes effective the day after the bill is enacted.
