Fireworks; revise months for authorized sale.
HB 1441 would revise the specific dates when retail fireworks sales are permitted in Mississippi. Currently, sales are restricted to periods after June 15 through July 12 and after December 5 through January 2. The bill would change these dates to new periods but does not specify the exact new dates in the provided text. It would maintain existing restrictions, such as prohibiting sales to anyone under 12 and requiring fireworks to be ignited at least 600 feet from churches, schools, or hospitals. The bill died on the calendar in February 2025 and did not become law.
