<ns0:Title> An act to amend Sections 12590, 12607, 12619, 12635, and 12726 of, and to add Sections 12590.5, 12590.6, 12619.1, 12640.1, 12640.2, and 12640.3 to, the Health and Safety Code, relating to fireworks.</ns0:Title>

<ns0:GeneralSubject>
<ns0:Subject>Fireworks licenses and permits: disqualifying conditions: storage facilities: local jurisdictions.</ns0:Subject>
</ns0:GeneralSubject>
<ns0:DigestText>
<html:p>The State Fireworks Law requires the State Fire Marshal to adopt regulations relating to fireworks as may be necessary for the protection of life and property. Existing law requires these regulations to include, among other things, provisions for the granting of licenses and permits for the manufacture, wholesale, import, export, and sale of all classes of fireworks. Existing law authorizes the State Fire Marshal to deny or revoke a fireworks license for specified reasons. A violation of the State Fireworks Law or the regulations issued pursuant thereto is a misdemeanor.</html:p>
<html:p>Existing law requires fireworks licensees seeking authorization for specified activities related to fireworks to submit a written application for a permit to the chief of the fire department or the chief fire prevention officer of the city or county, or to another issuing
authority that may be designated by the governing body of the city or county, or, in the event there is no officer or person appointed within the area, to the State Fire Marshal or the State Fire Marshal’s deputy, as provided.</html:p>
<html:p>This bill would require applicants for a wholesaler’s license, a manufacturer’s license, an importer’s license, or an exporter’s license to disclose the complete street addresses of any intended storage facilities on their initial application. The bill would also require holders of those licenses to notify the Office of the State Fire Marshal and specified local entities of the complete street addresses of intended storage facilities for any fireworks or materials to build fireworks. By expanding the scope of a crime, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The bill would subject licensees who violate that notification requirement to a fine of no
less than $10,000, and would authorize the State Fire Marshal to revoke their license. The bill would require the Office of the State Fire Marshal, upon approval of an application for a wholesaler’s license, a manufacturer’s license, an importer’s license, or an exporter’s license, to notify specified local entities of any storage site reported on the application.</html:p>
<html:p> This bill would require a fireworks licensee to provide to the State Fire Marshal documentation affirming the possession of a permit applicable to fireworks activity and necessary local land use permits or other entitlements, as required by the public agency having local jurisdiction, and information about the storage sites for the fireworks. By expanding the scope of a crime, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The bill would authorize the State Fire Marshal to revoke the fireworks license of a licensee who fails to provide this documentation or information and
to deny a license to a license applicant who fails to provide this documentation or information, as provided. The bill would also require the State Fire Marshal to both allow the applicable public agency an opportunity to validate the permit or entitlement assertions of the licensee and to furnish a copy of any applicable license to the public agency, as provided.</html:p>
<html:p>This bill would authorize a public agency to adopt by ordinance or resolution a schedule of fees to recover the reasonable costs incurred in administering, processing, inspecting, and enforcing the conditions of permits for fireworks activities or storage within its jurisdiction, as provided. </html:p>
<html:p>Existing law provides that if dangerous fireworks are seized pursuant to a local
ordinance that provides for administrative fines or penalties and these fines or penalties are collected, the local government entity collecting the fines or penalties shall forward 65% of the collected moneys to the Controller for deposit in the State Fire Marshal Fireworks Enforcement and Disposal Fund. </html:p>
<html:p>This bill would repeal the requirement that the local government entity collecting the fines or penalties forward 65% of the collected moneys to the Controller for deposit in the State Fire Marshal Fireworks Enforcement and Disposal Fund.</html:p>
<html:p>Existing law requires a fireworks licensee or permittee to permit the chief of the issuing authority, or the chief’s authorized representatives, to enter and inspect any building or other premises subject to the control of or used by the licensee or permittee for any purpose
related to fireworks at any time for the purpose of enforcing the State Fireworks Law.</html:p>
<html:p>This bill would authorize the chief of the fire department, fire marshal, or chief fire prevention officer of the city, county, city and county, fire protection district, or other public agency having jurisdiction, or their authorized representative, to enter and inspect, at reasonable times, any premise, facility, or storage site used for the manufacture, storage, sale, or display of fireworks to determine compliance with specified portions of the State Fireworks Law, the regulations of the State Fire Marshal, and applicable local fire codes. The bill would require the public agency to inspect each fireworks facility or storage site within its jurisdiction at least once every 12 months, as provided. By imposing new duties on local jurisdictions, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The bill would authorize a local public agency to require correction of any unsafe
or noncompliant condition identified during inspection and suspend or revoke the local permit until compliance is achieved. </html:p>
<html:p>Existing law requires an import or export fireworks licensee to file a notice containing specified information with the State Fire Marshal before the arrival of any class of fireworks subject to the license held by the licensee.</html:p>
<html:p>This bill would additionally require that notice to include the street address and county of the facilities in which the fireworks will be stored and copies of applications related to applicable zoning and land use approvals. The bill would also require an import or export fireworks licensee to additionally provide this notice to the local jurisdiction listed as the destination for the fireworks. By expanding the scope of a crime, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.</html:p>
<html:p>Existing law authorizes
the State Fire Marshal to deny the application for a license or the application for renewal of a license filed by a person who has been convicted of a felony involving explosives or dangerous fireworks or who has been convicted as a principal or accessory in a crime against property involving arson or any other fire-related offenses, as provided.</html:p>
<html:p>This bill would additionally authorize the State Fire Marshal to deny the application for a license or the application for renewal of a license to a person under indictment for, or who has been convicted in any court of, a crime that is both (A) punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year, and (B) a violent crime or an offense the commission of which creates a threat to public safety. The bill would also authorize the State Fire Marshal to deny the application for a license or the application for renewal of a license to a person
prohibited from handling explosives under federal law or a person subject to a previous federal seizure action related to fireworks or a previous denial or revocation of a federal fireworks license.</html:p>
<html:p>The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.</html:p>
<html:p>This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for specified reasons.</html:p>
