Committee approves moving fireworks retail season start date earlier by one week
Summary
House Bill 1324 would change the permitted consumer fireworks sales window to begin June 13 (currently June 20) to allow local June celebrations to obtain fireworks earlier; the committee passed the bill by voice vote.
Representative (sponsor) presented House Bill 1324 to modify the consumer-fireworks retail sales window by moving the start date from June 20 to June 13. The sponsor said some municipalities hold local celebrations earlier in June and that the change would allow those jurisdictions and residents to purchase fireworks in time for their events.
Committee members asked no substantive questions and no opposition spoke. The sponsor closed for the bill and moved that it be given a do-pass recommendation; the committee recorded an aye voice vote and the bill passed in committee.
No fiscal analysis or public-safety assessment was offered during the short hearing; the transcript does not record a roll-call tally for the vote.
