Relax the consumer (1.4G) fireworks laws in Illinois to make it easier for Illinois residents to purchase and use them.
Why is this important?
Studies show that consumer (1.4G) fireworks have become safer to use since being regulated by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. More consumer fireworks are being bought and used every year with fewer injuries per pound of product purchased, while Illinois continues to miss out on the taxes from these purchases. By relaxing the consumer fireworks laws in Illinois, residents will once again be able to enjoy using them and the state will realize the financial benefit from sales tax revenue.
