Fireworks Dealers Hurt by Safe and Sane Laws Across New England
The Massachusetts safe and sane Fourth laws cut fireworks sales by about 40 percent. New England states follow Massachusetts with restrictions, hurting licenses and limiting sales venues. Boston issued only 100 licenses this year versus 825 last season, with tents and temporary stands banned and stores needing permanent structures away from tenant buildings. Some dealers moved or could not relocate, while Connecticut’s strict laws are often ignored. Permits for 16 bonfires have been issued after district chief inspections to ensure safety.
