This bill proposes the repeal of the permissible fireworks advisory committee, which is currently established under RSA 160-C:13. The legislation amends RSA 160-C:16, I(a) by removing the requirement for the commissioner to notify the advisory committee before suspending or ordering the removal of any permissible firework item that poses an imminent threat to life and property. The specific legal language deleted from current law is "and with notice to the permissible fireworks advisory committee." The bill aims to streamline the process for addressing safety concerns related to fireworks by eliminating the advisory committee's involvement in the decision-making process. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage, with an effective date of July 7, 2026.
