New York State’s 2014 law allowing fireworks leading up to July 4 and New Year's Eve in many counties, including in St. Lawrence County, could generate $2 million in tax revenue for the state this year.

Legal fireworks include sparkling fountains (cylindrical and cone), sparklers on wooden sticks, but not metal, smoking devices, snakes, confetti-filled party poppers and paper-wrapped snappers

Fireworks that are not legal include bottle rockets and other fireworks that fly, such as firecrackers, bottle rockets, roman candles, spinners and other aerial devices.

It is not legal to set off fireworks in counties that did not approve the new law even if you bought them in a county that allows fireworks, according to Attorney General Eric Schneiderman.

Fireworks can only be used by people over the age of 18.

The point of the new law is to stop people from buying fireworks in other states. The state estimates legalization could generate $2 million in tax revenue this year. Many New Yorkers head south to buy fireworks legally just across the border in Pennsylvania.

The use of sparklers is legal from June 1 to July 5 and from December 26 to January 2.

Sparklers are legal this year in the following counties, according to the New York State Association of Counties: Allegany, Albany, Cattaraugus, Cayuga, Chemung, Clinton, Cortland, Dutchess, Essex, Franklin, Fulton, Greene, Herkimer, Lewis, Livingston, Madison, Montgomery, Niagara, Ontario, Orange, Putnam, Rensselaer, Rockland, Saratoga, Schenectady, Schoharie, Schuyler, Steuben, St. Lawrence, Sullivan, Tioga, Ulster, Warren, Washington, Wayne and Yates.
