Bill Summary
Requires counties to revoke licenses for the sale of fireworks for licensees that have violated restriction on the sale of fireworks. Prohibits licensees that have violated restrictions on the sale of fireworks from obtaining a new license.
AI Summary
This bill strengthens enforcement against illegal fireworks by requiring counties to revoke licenses for any fireworks seller who violates existing regulations, and it prohibits those who have violated these rules from obtaining a new license in the future. This change is intended to address the ongoing public safety threat posed by illegal fireworks, as current laws have been found to have gaps that allow repeat offenders to continue selling fireworks despite previous violations, as highlighted by a past investigation into a significant illegal fireworks shipment.
