Under existing law, the State Fire Marshal collects certain fees for issuing permits in the regulation of the manufacturing, sale, and display of fireworks and for the use of pyrotechnics before a proximate audience. All fees collected are paid into the State Fire Marshal's Fund for the enforcement of those laws, and these fees are subject to being increased according to changes in the Consumer Price Index pursuant to Section 41-1-11, Code of Alabama 1975.
This bill would increase the fees collected by the State Fire Marshal for issuing permits in the regulation of the manufacturing, sale, and display of fireworks and for the use of pyrotechnics before a proximate audience.
This bill would also provide for a semi-annual transfer of five percent of the permit fees collected by the State Fire Marshal in the regulation of fireworks and pyrotechnics to the Alabama Firefighters Annuity and Benefit Fund.
This bill would also specify that the fees may be increased at certain intervals according to increases in the Consumer Price Index.
