Sir:
Your Committee on Public Safety and Military Affairs, to
which was referred S.C.R. No. 204 entitled:
"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF
LAW ENFORCEMENT TO PROVIDE INFORMATION RELATED TO THE
DISPOSAL, DETONATION, AND DESTRUCTION OF EXPLOSIVES,
FIREWORKS, TkND SIMILAR HAZARDOUS MATERIALS IN THE STATE,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose and intent of this measure is to request the
Department of Law Enforcement to provide information related to
the disposal, detonation, and destruction of explosives,
fireworks, and similar hazardous materials in the State.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure
from one individual .
Your Committee received comments on this measure from the
Department of Law Enforcement.
Your Committee finds that concerns have arisen regarding the
procedures and consequences of state and local agencies disposing
of certain hazardous materials. The disposal methods for
hazardous materials that combust, including fireworks and other
explosives, often involve detonating the materials as a means of
destruction, and there is an understandable apprehension
surrounding this practice regarding its effects on both public
safety and the environment. Accordingly, this measure requests
