| Child Labor Safety and Investigations |
| The Governor recommends adding a staff position to focus on compliance with child labor laws. The initiative will |
| emphasize outreach, education, and enforcement to ensure that minors, parents, educators and employers understand |
| what is appropriate and safe work for young Minnesotans. The initiative will focus on high schools and industries where |
| children are most likely to be employed. |
| Performance Measures: |
| Success for this initiative can be measured by monitoring if fewer minors are injured in the workplace. |

| Elevator Permit Fee Adjustment |
| The Governor recommends removing a cap on elevator inspection fees. The current fee structure caps elevator |
| inspection fees at a level where inspection costs exceed fee revenue for hundreds of elevators per year. Removing the fee |
| cap aligns fees with the inspection service provided. |
| Performance Measures: |
| Success will be measured by having all elevator inspections conducted within five days of request. |

| Plumbing Inspection Fee Restructuring |
| The Governor recommends restructuring the plumbing fee schedule to better align fees with the inspection service |
| provided. The proposed change would replace the current fee structure that is based on drainage fixture units with a |
| permit fee of $100 and a fee of $25 per fixture. |
| Performance Measures: |
| Success will be measured when fee revenue covers services provided. |

| Plumbing Plan Review - Removal of the Accelerated Process and Fees |
| The Governor recommends restructuring the plumbing plan review process to standardize response times. Currently, an |
| applicant can pay double the standard application fee to have a plumbing plan reviewed more quickly. This results in other |
| applicants having to wait longer to have their plans reviewed. |
| Performance Measures: |
| Success will be measured by having all plans reviewed within 15 working days of receipt of application. |

| Wind Turbine Inspection Fee Alternative |
| The Governor recommends providing an alternative electrical inspection fee schedule for wind turbines. Wind farm |
| turbine projects would be able to take advantage of a fee schedule that recognizes the economies of scale of large |
| projects with many identical turbines. |
