Provides that upon receipt of a second revocation of an explosives license, the person shall no longer be eligible to apply for an Illinois individual explosive license. Provides that any bulk storage or holding of consumer fireworks in quantities of 1,001 pounds or greater that is not in compliance with the Pyrotechnic Use Act or the Pyrotechnic Distributor and Operator Licensing Act must be stored in a Department certified Type 1, Type 2, or Type 4 magazine and must meet the distancing requirements for low explosives in applicable law.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Makes a change concerning the definition of "consumer fireworks". In provisions concerning storage requirements, provides that any bulk storage or holding of consumer fireworks in quantities of 1,001 pounds or greater that is not in compliance with the Pyrotechnic Use Act or the Pyrotechnic Distributor and Operator Licensing Act must be stored in a Department certified Type 1, Type 2, or Type 4 magazine and must meet the distancing requirements, provided by administrative rule, that pertain to the safe storage of low explosives (rather than the distancing requirements for low explosives in federal rules and applicable law). Removes the language that provides that no consumer firework cake, designed for consumer use, shall exceed 500 grams in total explosive chemical composition. In provisions concerning unlawful possession, storage, and transfer, makes changes concerning penalties. Corrects typographical errors.
Senate Floor Amendment No. 2
Removes language providing that no person may possess or store a firework cake, designed for consumer use, that exceeds 500 grams in total explosive chemical composition.
House Committee Amendment No. 1
Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the provisions of the engrossed bill with the following change. In provisions concerning the powers, duties, and functions of the Department of Natural Resources, adds the ability to authorize any officer or Department employee to enter upon, inspect, and examine, at reasonable times and in a reasonable manner, the records and properties of persons licensed or certified under the Act to the extent such records and properties relate to the safe and proper storage, handling, and use of explosive materials. Makes grammatical changes.
