What’s in it

This bill relates to limitations on the sale and use of consumer fireworks. The bill allows for consumer fireworks to be sold from a permanent structure at any time throughout the year. Current law prohibits the sale of fireworks from a permanent structure on dates other than between June and July and between December and January 3. The bill does not amend the current restriction on the sale of fireworks from a temporary structure (June to July 8). The bill allows for the use or explosion of consumer fireworks on the date of the general election on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November of even-numbered years, between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m.
