Fireworks; authorize sale and purchase of year-round from permanent structure.

HB 644 would allow fireworks retailers to sell year-round (instead of seasonally) and require all fireworks storage and sales to occur in permanent buildings (replacing temporary stands). It also lowers penalties for violations from felony to misdemeanor and updates labeling requirements for basic fireworks like sparklers. The bill directly affects retailers, local governments (which retain authority to regulate), and consumers purchasing fireworks. It died in committee in February 2025 and did not become law.
