Consumer fireworksHB 2361 (NOW: regulations; consumer fireworks), which passed the House by a vote of 46-14 on March 6, is subject to consideration by the Senate Committee of the Whole at any time. Among other things, the legislation: prevents municipalities from adopting ordinances with penalties greater than a petty offense for a person using certain consumer fireworks; permits the imposition of fees on fireworks vendors; addresses certain signage issues; and permits restrictions on the sale and use of consumer fireworks in Coconino and Yavapai Counties. The League is neutral on the bill.Competing fireworks legislation, SB 1364 (consumer fireworks; permitted regulation), was approved by the House Rules Committee on March 26 and was caucused in the House the following day. This bill, sponsored by Senator Andy Biggs (R-Gilbert), does not authorize jurisdictions within Yavapai and Coconino Counties to regulate the sale of fireworks. Without that modest expansion of regulatory authority, the League opposes SB 1364. |
