A 497 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Prohibits use of fireworks under certain circumstances.

This bill prohibits the use of fireworks on public roads, streets, alleys, or within certain proximity to properties housing or boarding horses. It directly affects residents, event organizers, and property owners in these areas by restricting where fireworks can be discharged. The key provision amends existing law to explicitly ban such use in these locations, adding to current restrictions on fireworks sales and possession. Violations are classified as disorderly persons offenses, punishable by up to six months in jail or a $1,000 fine.
