  • Conviction: A judgement of guilt against a criminal defendant.
  • Corporation: A legal entity owned by the holders of shares of stock that have been issued, and that can own, receive, and transfer property, and carry on business in its own name.
  • Evidence: Information presented in testimony or in documents that is used to persuade the fact finder (judge or jury) to decide the case for one side or the other.

B. No individual, firm, corporation or partnership shall possess any fireworks for sale within New Mexico, other than those authorized in the Fireworks Licensing and Safety Act. The state fire marshal, his deputies or designees may at reasonable hours enter and inspect the permittee’s premises, building, mobile or motor vehicle or temporary or permanent structure to determine compliance with the Fireworks Licensing and Safety Act. If any retailer has in his possession any fireworks in violation of that act, his permit shall be revoked and all such fireworks seized, and the fireworks shall be kept to be used as evidence. If any person has in his possession any fireworks in violation of that act, a warrant may be issued for the seizure of fireworks and the fireworks shall be safely kept to be used as evidence. Upon conviction of the offender, the fireworks shall be destroyed, but if the offender is discharged, the permissible fireworks shall be returned to the person in whose possession they were found; provided, however, that nothing in the Fireworks Licensing and Safety Act applies to the transportation of fireworks by regulated carriers.
