For legislation to exclude novelty sparklers from the definition of prohibited fireworks. Public Safety and Homeland Security.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to exclude novelty sparklers from the definition of prohibited fireworks in Massachusetts. Specifically, it would amend the state's fireworks law to allow the sale and use of certain types of hand-held or ground-based sparkling devices, as long as they are non-explosive, non-aerial, and contain 75 grams or less of pyrotechnic composition per tube or a total of 500 grams or less for multiple tubes. This change would effectively legalize the sale and use of these "novelty sparklers" in the state.
