Indiana has introduced legislation banning or limiting the sale of novelty and toylike lighters.
Jan 17: Indiana House Bill 1056 unanimously (11-0) passed the House Veterans Affairs and Public Safety Committee.
Jan 4: Indiana Representative Randy Frye introduced House Bill 1056 which requires the State Fire Marshal to make a list of novelty lighters. The Bill makes the manufacture or import of a novelty lighter for sale, distribution, or resale a crime. An interesting component is that it provides that funds collected as judgments for novelty lighter infractions are to be deposited in the fire and building services fund rather than the state general fund.
