BILL NUMBER: S7448 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the penal law, in relation to the definition of fireworks PURPOSE : To exempt sparklers that are used in a religious ceremony or event that is conducted pursuant to Kabbalistic law from the definition of fireworks. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS : Amends §270.00 of the penal law to exempt sparklers that are used in connection with a religious ceremony or event that is conducted pursuant to Kabbalistic law and is supervised by a rabbi or religious coordinator who is at least 21 years of age from the definition of fireworks. JUSTIFICATION : Kabbalistic law is common to all of the myriad sects of the Jewish religion. Pursuant to this law, a candle is regarded as a heavenly spirit that should not be extinguished by human means. According to some religious scholars, the blowing out of a candle is comparable to extinguishing life itself. At the very least, the blowing out of a candle is considered to be a bad omen.
