Fireworks; authorize sale and purchase of year-round from permanent structure.
HB 886 allows year-round retail sale of fireworks in Mississippi, replacing previous seasonal restrictions. It requires fireworks sold at retail or wholesale to be stored and displayed within a permanent building (not temporary stands), with safety signs, fire extinguishers, and unopened packaging unless staff are present. The bill maintains existing rules: fireworks must be "Class C common fireworks" (like small fountains or sparklers), cannot be sold to anyone under 12, and cannot be ignited within 600 feet of schools, hospitals, or churches. It affects fireworks retailers, distributors, and consumers by changing storage requirements and enabling year-round sales while preserving safety zones and age limits.
