RELATING TO FIREWORKS.

HB 55 would change the legal classification of certain fireworks violations, converting them from misdemeanors (less serious offenses) to class C felonies (more serious criminal charges). This bill directly affects individuals who possess or use specific types of fireworks in ways prohibited by current law. The key provision is the upgrade in penalties for these specific violations, meaning offenders could face significantly harsher criminal consequences. The bill is currently pending in the legislature, having been carried over to the next session.
