Establishes a shipping container inspection program to detect illegal fireworks and explosives entering Hawaii.

This bill establishes a shipping container inspection program to detect illegal fireworks and explosives entering Hawaii. It mandates the use of x-ray machines and explosive-sniffing dogs for inspections, conducted in non-active harbor areas to avoid interfering with shipping operations. The program includes a special fund for its support and administration, funded by a $1 fee per shipping container and other sources. The bill also amends definitions of "aerial devices" and "fireworks" within state law.
