[Adopted 2-22-2017 by Ord. No. 2-2017]
This article is adopted in order to protect the environment,
particularly the wildlife, and the health, safety and well-being of
persons and property by prohibiting the release of helium balloons
into the atmosphere, including latex and mylar, as it has been determined
that the release of balloons inflated with lighter-than-air gases
poses a danger and nuisance to the environment, particularly to wildlife
and marine animals, so as to constitute a public nuisance and may
pose a threat to the safety of its inhabitants and their property.
It shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation to
intentionally release, organize the release or intentionally cause
to be released balloons inflated with a gas that is lighter than air
within the Atlantic City limits, except for:
Any person found in violation of this article is guilty of a
noncriminal infraction punishable by a fine not to exceed the sum
of $500.
