President Leonel Fernandez has submitted a bill to Congress that would regulate the sale of fireworks in the DR. The bill would limit the sale of fireworks to licensed companies and prohibit the sale to the general public and small-scale vendors. The bill also stipulates that the detonation and use of fireworks will be left solely up to pyrotechnic experts and firms who specialize in this. These firms must register with the Ministry of Interior and Police.
The bill proposes a penalty of between six months to two years for violators as well as a fine of 20 minimum salaries. The large number of accidents suffered by children motivates the bill.
