A bill for an act relating to the sale and use of consumer fireworks.
HF 44 amends the regulations for the sale and use of consumer fireworks. The bill allows consumer fireworks to be sold from permanent buildings year-round, removing previous seasonal limitations. It also adds the general election day in even-numbered years as a permitted day for using consumer fireworks, specifically between 9:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. This affects individuals who sell fireworks from permanent structures and those who use consumer fireworks.
