Fireworks dealers can apply for compensation, entrepreneurs dissatisfied

Fireworks retailers can apply for compensation due to a ban on consumer fireworks for the upcoming New Year's Eve. They must prove prior sales and meet specific criteria to qualify. Compensation includes lost profits and additional payments, but many retailers express dissatisfaction with the limited support. The ban may increase illegal fireworks sales, posing safety risks. Despite the law, thousands of youths plan to use fireworks, often sourced from abroad. Local municipalities are largely denying exemption requests for fireworks displays due to insufficient preparation and resources.
