The residency requirement must be related to response time and <br />established without regard to political subdivision boundaries. <br />History: <br />1981 c 181 s 1; 1984 c 585 s 1: 1985 c 197 s 1 <br />htt. s:, , www. revisor.mn.gov/statutes!?id=415.16 <br />Thoughts? <br />Thank you! <br />MAKE IT A GREAT DAY! <br />
