"[[]§132D-14.5[]] Liability of homeowner, renter, or person
otherwise responsible for real property.
A homeowner, renter, or person otherwise
responsible for the real property
who intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly allows
an individual, while on the real property, to possess, set off, ignite, or
otherwise cause to explode any aerial device shall be deemed to be in civil
violation of this chapter and shall be subject to the [penalties specified
in section 132D-14(a)(2) and (b).] maximum fine allowed under law."
SECTION 3. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New statutory material is underscored.
