Key Takeaways

•If the Fire Marshal already said 'no' to your license or took it away in the last year, they can say 'no' again without a new meeting.
•This only happens if you broke the rules before and they followed the right steps to deny or take your license.
•It’s about keeping people who broke the rules from getting a license too soon.

Example

A person had their fireworks license taken away 6 months ago for selling illegal fireworks. They apply for a new license.

The Fire Marshal can automatically say 'no' to the new license because they already took it away less than a year ago for breaking the rules.
