Fiscal Detail and Notes
	This bill removes the prohibition on the sale and use of consumer fireworks.  Other Special Revenue Funds revenue to the Department of Public Safety from the issuance of licenses to sell consumer fireworks is estimated to be $3,000 in fiscal year 2010-11 and $15,000 in fiscal year 2011-12 and thereafter.  This estimate assumes issuance of two licenses in fiscal year 2010-11, and 10 in fiscal year 2011-12 and thereafter.  The Department will require an Other Special Revenue Funds allocation in the amount of the estimated revenue for two Public Safety Inspector II positions and related costs to inspect entities licensed to sell consumer fireworks.  Since the estimated revenue does not cover the cost of the positions and related costs, the Department will require a General Fund appropriation of $108,204 in fiscal year 2010-11 and $137,574 in fiscal year 2011-12.
