What’s in it
Current law authorizes cities to prohibit or limit the use of consumer fireworks, display fireworks, or novelties by ordinance or resolution. Current law also authorizes counties to prohibit or limit the use of consumer fireworks or display fireworks by ordinance or resolution. A person who violates any such ordinance or resolution commits a simple misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of at least $250. This bill permits cities and counties to classify violations of local fireworks ordinances as municipal infractions or county infractions, as applicable.
