This legislation repeals PL 2011, c. 416, which permitted the sale, purchase and use of consumer fireworks. It would 
reduce General Fund revenue by $396,340 in fiscal year 2014-15 and revenue sharing by $20,860 in fiscal year 2014-
as a result of the loss of sales tax revenue. It would also result in General Fund savings to the Department of 
Public Safety of $141 ,682 in fiscal year 2014-15 by removing the appropriation and the two positions added by PL 
2011, c. 416. It would also result in a reduction of Other Special Revenue Funds allocation to the Department of 
Public Safety of $22,500 beginning in fiscal year 2014-15. Other Special Revenue Funds revenue to the Department 
of Public Safety would decrease by $22,500 beginning in fiscal year 2014-15 as a result of the loss of revenue from 
the issuance of consumer fireworks licenses.
