2011 House Bill 4293: Revise fireworks regulations (Senate Roll Call 662)

Passed 33 to 1 in the Senate on November 9, 2011, to establish a comprehensive regulatory regime for the sale, distribution and use of currently-illegal "consumer fireworks" including firecrackers, bottle rockets, aerial spinners, Roman candles, etc. (“APA standard 87-1” fireworks). The bill proposes a $1,000 permit fee for sellers, $600 for temporary location "tent" sellers. It also would impose a mandate for sellers to carry a $10 million insurance policy, and a 6 percent tax ("fireworks safety fee") in addition to the usual 6 percent sales tax. Local governments could prohibit residents from using fireworks, but could not ban fireworks sellers who meet the bill's conditions.

I completely agree that this bill should be passed. There must be some other valuable support from other states where they have seen problems with this. Best Car Resources

I have not now, nor have I ever attempted to deny you or anyone else their right to their opinion. I spent a great many years defending that right and a few words typed in a comment post will certainly not shake my committment to fundamental principles.

I have shown you no disrespect and it is not in my character to do so.
