An Act relative to novelty sparklers

This bill clarifies the legal definition of fireworks in Massachusetts to explicitly include certain novelty items like small sparklers, party poppers, and smoke devices. By adding these specific products to the list of items that are not considered traditional fireworks, the legislation allows for their sale and use at any time without special permits. The changes apply to general consumers while maintaining existing restrictions for professional displays, transportation signals, and licensed theatrical or industrial uses.
