     121.1502 Inspection of public schools. 

    Subdivision 1.    Inspection.  The commissioner and the 
 state fire marshal shall develop a plan to inspect once every 
 three years every public school facility used for educational 
 purposes.  Inspections must begin during the 1990-1991 school 
 year.  The plan must provide for continued inspection by local 
 units of government of public school facilities that have been 
 inspected by a local unit of government between January 1, 1987, 
 and January 1, 1990, and may provide for inspections by local 
 units of government in other situations.  Each inspection report 
 must be filed with the commissioner, the local school board, and 
 the state fire marshal.  Notwithstanding section 299F.011, 
 subdivisions 5a and 5b, a variance from the code must be 
 approved by the state fire marshal before taking effect.  The 
 state board may request that the state fire marshal inspect a 
 particular school facility. 

    Subd. 2.    Contracting.  The commissioner may contract 
 with the state fire marshal to provide the inspections provided 
 in subdivision 1.
