A bill which would ban the sale and distribution of helium balloons is under consideration by Massachusetts lawmakers.

The bill was introduced by State Rep. Sarah Peake at the State House Tuesday.

It prohibits the sale of any balloons, including, but not limited to “plastic, latex or mylar, filled with any type of lighter than air gas, both for public or private use.” The fine for violating the ban would be up to $100.

The ban would also apply to the release of such balloons into the sky.

Such a ban could have impact on events like parades.

Spirit of Springfield president Judy Matt told Western Mass News a ban would impact the upcoming Parade of the Big Balloons following Thanksgiving, but that the show would go on.

According to CBS Boston, several state communities, such as Nantucket and Orleans, are debating or have enacted their own take on a balloon ban.
