HB 5205 Connecticut House · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT AUTHORIZING THE SALE OF CONSUMER FIREWORKS.

HB 5205 would allow retail stores to sell consumer fireworks (like sparklers and fountains) to the public in this state, directly affecting businesses that sell fireworks and consumers who purchase them. The bill amends existing law to explicitly permit these sales, removing current restrictions. It does not include specific safety rules, age limits, or location requirements, focusing solely on authorizing the sales activity. This is a procedural change to state statute, not a comprehensive safety regulation.
