Consumer and Display Fireworks - Regulation and Tax

Summary

The bill lets adults buy and use certain small fireworks if they follow safety distances and other restrictions, while counties can ban them entirely. It requires professional pyrotechnicians to get a State Fire Marshal permit to discharge display fireworks and sets a 16% sales tax on consumer fireworks, directing the money to emergency‑services funds. The measure also adds safety rules for temporary fireworks sales sites and establishes penalties for violations.
