Massachusetts bill would ban sale, distribution, and release of balloons
A bill was introduced Tuesday that would ban the sale, distribution, and release of balloons in Massachusetts.
State Representative Sarah K. Peake presented the bill.
The sale, distribution and release of any type of balloon, including, but not limited to, plastic, latex or mylar, filled with any type of lighter than air gas, both for public or private use, would be prohibited.
Violators of the bill would be punished by a fine of not more than one hundred dollars.
The bill would not apply to balloons released by or on behalf of any agency of the commonwealth or the United States for scientific or meteorological purposes, or hot air balloons that are recovered after launch.
