Just thought I would include the pyro community on this. A couple years ago we tried to get all consumer fireworks legalized here in Connecticut. Thanks to the hard work of Mike Dapkus and friends a bill made it about half way through the legislative process before losing steam.

There is now another group of folks trying again this year to get the job done and get consumer fireworks legalized here. This year it looks like testimony to the committees will be done online through Zoom etc. or through Emails so it is very easy to show your support.

If you are an importer, fundraising stand operator or you live in Connecticut please reach out to me on here, Facebook: Steve Gelineau or linkedIn: Steve Gelineau. We are looking for help on this ASAP as the session begins in two weeks.

Just wanted to give anyone following this topic an update. A bill has been proposed here in Connecticut to expand consumer fireworks allowed to include all consumer CPSC allowed devices. This was proposed by Democratic Representative Kerry Wood within the Commerce Committee. The bill is HB 6046. As of now the bill is only a rough framework but it appears the bill will be similar to a proposed bill from 2019. It looks like the bill is off to the Public Safety Committee for review. Keeping my fingers crossed.
 
There is a Public Safety Committee hearing for bill HB 6046 on 02/11/21 at 1PM. This hearing will be broadcast on several links found on the Connecticut General Assembly at CGA.CT.GOV. For those individuals or businesses who are interested in supporting this bill, we encourage you to E-mail the members of the Public Safety Committee your SUPPORT for bill HB 6046. I have a spreadsheet of the Public Safety Committee members E-mail addresses to make it easy to contact them. E-mail me at Steve.Gelineau@gmail.com or message me on here and I will send you the spreadsheet.
