In what has practically become an annual tradition — albeit a little-noticed one — a new law makes a number of technical changes to statutes governing boilers and their operation.

Sponsored by Rep. Bob Gunther (R-Fairmont) and Sen. Steve Murphy (DFL-Red Wing), the law clarifies various statutory provisions, updates obsolete references and terminology, and makes grammatical changes.

The law includes changes proposed by the Department of Labor and Industry, and represents an attempt to streamline and reduce excessive requirements on boiler operators, owners, license-holders and boat owners. It also reflects advancements in boiler technology and construction.

The changes take effect Aug. 1, 2010.
