Fireworks for Freedom Act
The Fireworks for Freedom Act aims to increase public participation in fireworks celebrations for the 250th anniversary of the United States in 2026. It temporarily suspends certain federal and state regulations regarding event permits, licensing, and local safety codes like fire restrictions and noise limits for displays held during the year. However, the bill explicitly preserves local government authority to regulate specific aspects of displays, such as zoning, crowd management, and site-specific safety concerns, while maintaining federal laws on manufacturing, transportation, and product safety.
