An Act further regulating the discharge of fireworks in densely populated neighborhoods

This bill strengthens penalties for discharging fireworks in neighborhoods with high population density, specifically targeting areas where at least 1,000 people live per square mile. It directly affects residents and businesses in such zones by imposing fines of $200-$500, up to six months in jail, or both for violations. Law enforcement may seize fireworks without a warrant during these incidents, and seized items must be forfeited to the state upon conviction. The policy change focuses on reducing firework-related risks in densely populated areas through clear, enforceable penalties.
