fireworks; aerials; licensure; penalties

Arizona's SB 1284 clarifies and updates regulations for fireworks sales and use in the state. It defines "permissible consumer fireworks" as ground-level devices like sparklers, fountains, and cylindrical devices (excluding aerial items like bottle rockets or skyrockets), while banning prohibited aerial fireworks. The bill requires retailers to maintain detailed records for out-of-state shipments and specifies permitted uses, such as for farmers with agricultural licenses or railroads for signaling. It directly affects fireworks retailers, manufacturers, and consumers purchasing or using fireworks in Arizona.
