AI Summary
This bill aims to regulate the sale and use of fireworks in Massachusetts. It creates a State Fire Marshal Fireworks Fund, which will be funded by fees and fines collected from fireworks-related activities. The bill also allows cities and towns to accept a section that authorizes the local fire department to grant permits for the use of fireworks, excluding sparklers under 3 feet and novelty poppers. Additionally, the bill allows cities and towns to grant sales licenses to wholesale dealers or retailers to sell fireworks to individuals 18 years of age or older. The state fire marshal is tasked with promulgating rules and regulations to implement these provisions, including storage requirements for licensed fireworks sellers.
