Rule ProposedRuleAttach2023-00749.docx
Statutory Authority 24-33.5-2004 (7), C.R.S.
Description of Subjects/Issues The purpose of this rule change is twofold. First, the rule change clarifies the regulatory definitions governing the “Certified Fireworks Display Operator” and “Certified Pyrotechnic Operator” certifications, and clarifies the application processes for those certifications. The rule change specifies that all applicants must submit to a criminal background check and provide proof of relevant training within five years. It also requires all applicants to take and pass the applicable general knowledge exam, eliminating a waiver exception for holders of certifications from approved national fireworks organizations. Finally, it eliminates the three-retake limit on the general knowledge exams. Secondly, this rule change cleans-up unused definitions and outdated provisions. Specifically, the rule change eliminates a redundant and potentially confusing definition of “Operator”. It also fixes grammatical and formatting inconsistencies in the rule.
