Bill Title: As enacted, revises the population figures from any county in excess of 200,000 in the present law to any county in excess of 335,000 based on the recent federal census which effectively means fireworks cannot be sold within the four largest counties; a conforming change removes language from the current law which would have permitted any county to continue selling fireworks if its population grew past 200,000 an exemption which applied to Rutherford County; such language is no longer necessary with the increased population to 335,000; clarifies that present law permits the sale of fireworks in the City of Lakeland in Shelby County at a stand where fireworks have been sold annually for at least 45 years. - Amends TCA Section 68-104-112.
