Bill > HB2503

This bill authorizes civil asset forfeiture, meaning property used in a crime can be seized by the state, for fireworks offenses involving a total weight of twenty-five pounds or more, referencing existing forfeiture laws. It also amends the definition of an "aerial device" to include fireworks that move themselves more than twelve feet in any direction and then combust or emit sparks, broadening the scope of what is considered an aerial device, and clarifies that the offense of sending or receiving fireworks or pyrotechnic articles by air delivery applies even if the offender does not personally accompany the shipment.
