20 fireworks-related bills on state Legislature dockett
Several bills introduced in the state Legislature would increase regulations on fireworks, but others would make them easier to use.
In all, 20 bills pertaining to fireworks have been filed for consideration. Most of the bills merely increase or amend the fines related to fireworks violations, but others take a more ambitious approach to reducing their use.
One bill, for example, would allow the state Department of Transportation to use canine units to inspect shipments to Hawaii harbors from places “known to manufacture, use or export aerial fireworks,” while another would reclassify certain fireworks violations as also being violations of the state air pollution control law.
