Minn. R. 1300 § 1300.0060
OPTIONAL ADMINISTRATION.
Operative Text
A. chapter 1306, Special Fire Protection Systems; and B. grading, IBC appendix chapter J.
Minnesota Rule 1300.0060 identifies two areas—special fire protection systems (governed by chapter 1306) and grading standards (governed by IBC Appendix Chapter J)—that fall under optional administration. This means that local jurisdictions may choose whether to adopt and enforce these particular requirements, rather than being mandated to do so. The provision defines the scope of what is subject to that discretionary administrative framework.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Minn. R. 1300 § 1300.0060, property owners and managers should verify with their local building or fire authority whether the optional provisions covering special fire protection systems (chapter 1306) and site grading (IBC Appendix Chapter J) have been locally adopted. Compliant operators typically confirm the applicable local code adoptions before beginning any project involving fire suppression systems or site grading work. Checking with the local authority having jurisdiction helps ensure that all relevant optional provisions are accounted for in project planning.
