Item 1G1 substitute.

Great job.

So this is a public hearing item.

Would anybody like to be recognized on this public hearing item?

Is anybody from the public present to speak?

Mr.

Book, I see you approaching.

When we found that there are 3,400 grams, stuff that you don't shoot off at city, county, and other public displays of fireworks, and we have deep concerns about it.

Our job is to is to sell product, but to sell products safely, smartly and wisely, and with within not only the code, but the statute that permits certain types of displays and certain purchases outside of, if you will, displays.

The use for wholesale, the use for fish archeries and bird sanctuaries where you can and can't, depending on what the statute says, which overrides in many instances what local ordinances do in an effort to provide that broader protection.

I remind those that were around years ago, where almost 20 years ago, when the last major rewrite was done and a moratorium was put in place.

We worked with city and county fire officials, the fire marshals, the fire chiefs, the League of Cities, and the Florida Association and Counties to make the statute what it is today.

What you're doing is layering in an additional layer of protection based on what you're allowed to do under the statute, but with your fire department driving that message of safety.

So thank you for the opportunity, Mr.

Chairman, members of the committee.

We strongly support what you have in front of you.

Thank you, Mr.

Book.

And before I recognize my colleagues, if I can get uh the chief to come down and can you just give us an overview of what specifically um some of these uh requirements are and why it's necessary good afternoon, Alan Kaminsky, Chief Fire Marshal of Miami D County.

What items specifically for Chapter 14, is there anything specific you're looking for, or just you want a basic overview of of what it entails and why we're here?

The fire ordinance.

So we have a state statute that already already dictates what the requirements are, specifically for record keeping.
