RELATING TO FIREWORKS.
HB 607 makes causing serious bodily injury or death through fireworks a Class A felony, the highest criminal penalty level. This directly affects individuals who negligently or recklessly cause such harm using fireworks, including manufacturers, sellers, or users. The key provision changes the legal classification of these incidents from a lower-level offense to a felony, significantly increasing potential penalties. The bill does not alter existing fireworks possession or sale laws, only the criminal consequences for resulting harm.
