Ind. Law - No surprises here: Fireworks law change proposed
Here is a very long list of ILB entires from last summer where various communities express outrage over the fireworks law passed last here, with headlines like: "Sadly, the Legislature doesn't have a Stupid-O-Meter on which to test new laws."
Today Lesley Stedman Weidenbener of the Louisville Courier Journal reports, in a lengthy story:
A handful of state senators are proposing to change the law regulating fireworks less than a year after the General Assembly voted to legalize their use.Senate Bill 9, which will be considered by the 2007 legislature, would give cities and counties the authority to set some restrictions on the use of fireworks in their communities.
The bill's primary author, Sen. Vic Heinold, R-Kouts, said the proposal comes from the Valparaiso City Council, which sent him a resolution requesting more authority to set the hours and days when fireworks could be used.
