An act relating to the regulation of binary explosives and other related compounds

This bill would classify binary explosives, such as Tannerite, and similar two-component systems as legally defined explosives in Vermont. By amending the state's definitions of destructive devices and explosives, the legislation requires these compounds to be regulated under existing laws that govern traditional explosives. The change applies to anyone who possesses, sells, or uses these components, particularly when they are marketed together with instructions for combination. The bill takes effect on July 1, 2024, and does not alter regulations for standard firearms or ammunition components like primers or gunpowder.
