SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Statewide Fire Prevention Code; fireworks. Provides for the Board of Housing and Community Development to establish statewide optional standards for the use and sale of fireworks in the Commonwealth. The standards will be included in the Statewide Fire Prevention Code. Under current law, the sale of fireworks is prohibited except in certain limited circumstances when localities are authorized to issue permits. The bill continues to authorize localities to issue permits for the display of fireworks by fair associations, amusement parks or other groups under the minimum terms set forth in the Code and other terms that may be prescribed by that locality. The bill defines "fireworks" as any firecracker, torpedo, skyrocket, or other substance or objects, of whatever form or construction, that contains any explosive or inflammable compound or substance, and is intended or commonly known as fireworks, and which explodes, rises into the air or travels laterally, or fires projectiles into the air.
