     1 17 of accidental fire and related property damage,
     1 18 injury, or death, and any other identifiable risk of
     1 19 property damage, injury, or death posed by novelty
     1 20 lighters, and the extent to which novelty lighters may
     1 21 pose special risks to children and youth.
     1 22    2.  The department shall prepare a report based on
     1 23 the study, which shall include any recommendations the
     1 24 department determines appropriate, and shall submit
     1 25 the report to the general assembly by January 1,
     1 26 2009.>
