Bill Summary
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 explicitly exclude certain items, such as wood stick or wire sparklers containing 100 grams or less of pyrotechnic mixture, hand-held or ground-based sparkling devices with 75 grams or less of pyrotechnic composition per tube (or 500 grams or less total), and other non-explosive, non-aerial items like smoke devices and party poppers. The bill aims to allow the sale and use of these novelty sparklers while maintaining restrictions on more hazardous fireworks.
