  1.17     299F.18 [COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL REMOVED.] 
  1.18     The state fire marshal, the chief assistant fire marshal, 
  1.19  or any deputy fire marshal, who finds in any building or upon 
  1.20  any premises any combustible or explosive material, rubbish, 
  1.21  rags, waste, or inflammable matter of any kind, except liquids 
  1.22  covered by section 299F.19, endangering the safety of the 
  1.23  building or property or the occupants thereof or the occupants 
  1.24  of adjoining buildings shall order these materials removed or 
  1.25  the dangerous condition corrected forthwith.  This order shall 
  1.26  be in writing and directed generally to the owner, lessee, 
  1.27  agent, or occupant of the building or premises and any owner, 
  1.28  lessee, agent, or occupant upon whom such notice shall be served 
  1.29  who fails to comply therewith within 24 hours thereafter, unless 
  2.1   the order prescribes a longer period within which it may be 
  2.2   complied with, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and the 
  2.3   material may be removed or dangerous condition corrected at the

  2.5   upon whom the service is so made, or both, and the state fire 
  2.6   marshal may maintain all necessary actions for the recovery 
  2.7   thereof.  
  2.8      Sec. 2.  Minnesota Statutes 2000, section 340A.311, is 
  2.9   amended to read: 
  2.10     340A.311 [BRAND REGISTRATION.] 
  2.11     (a) A brand of intoxicating liquor or 3.2 percent malt 
  2.12  liquor may not be manufactured, imported into, or sold in the 
  2.13  state unless the brand label has been registered with and 
  2.14  approved by the commissioner.  A brand registration must be 
  2.15  renewed every three years in order to remain in effect.  The fee 
  2.16  for an initial brand registration is $30.  The fee for brand 
  2.17  registration renewal is $20.  The brand label of a brand of 
  2.18  intoxicating liquor or 3.2 percent malt liquor for which the 
  2.19  brand registration has expired, is conclusively deemed abandoned 
  2.20  by the manufacturer or importer.  
  2.21     (b) In this section "brand" and "brand label" include 
  2.22  trademarks and designs used in connection with labels.  
  2.23     (c) The label of any brand of wine or intoxicating or 
  2.24  nonintoxicating malt beverage may be registered only by the 
  2.25  brand owner or authorized agent.  No such brand may be imported 
  2.26  into the state for sale without the consent of the brand owner 
  2.27  or authorized agent.  This section does not limit the provisions 
  2.28  of section 340A.307. 
  2.29     (d) The commissioner shall refuse to register a malt liquor 
  2.30  brand label, and shall revoke the registration of a malt liquor 
  2.31  brand label already registered, if the brand label states or 
  2.32  implies in a false or misleading manner a connection with an 
  2.33  actual living or dead American Indian leader.  This paragraph 
  2.34  does not apply to a brand label registered for the first time in 
  2.35  Minnesota before January 1, 1992.
