Here is another town attempting to regulate fireworks around a lake. Only this time it appear they will accept "Display Fireworks" but are trying to eliminate consumer fireworks. I am trying to figure if the real motive is the noise and they are trying to stop the noise under the guise of pollution.

In the end, the legislative body will decide.

ARTICLE 21
To see if the Town will vote to ban the use of “consumer fireworks”, to help stop the pollution of Lake
Winnipesaukee, our water supplies, noise, and other the (sic) health risks caused by fireworks. This ban does not include “display” fireworks like those that towns use for public display and require licensing. This ban, also, does not include “novelties” (like sparkler and such), because they are not regulated. Definitions for “consumer” and “display fireworks” are those at 27 CFR 555.11 and NH RSA 160-C:1.
(By Petition)

ARTICLE 22
To see if the Town will vote to limit the use of “consumer fireworks” to the hours between 12 noon and 10:00 pm. Exceptions are two holidays, as recognized by the Town: (1) the 4th of July: limit use to 12 noon to 12 midnight; (2) New Year, limit use to 12 noon and up to 15 minutes past midnight of the
holiday. “Novelties” (like some sparklers), are not considered “fireworks” and are not regulated.
Definitions for “consumer” and “display fireworks” are those at 27 CFR 555.11 and NH RSA 160-C:1.
(By Petition)

ARTICLE 23
To see if the Town will vote to amend the Town’s “Ordinance Relative to Noise” to establish the
following hours for Sections 10.2 Subsections 2, 6, 7, and 8 and Section 10.3 Subsection 2b as follows: Permissible Hours for all the above subsections shall be 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Sundays through Thursdays and 8:00 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. For Section 10.2 Subsection 8 relative to fireworks, on July 4th only, permissible hours shall be expanded to 8 a.m. to 11 p.m.
