HB 5872 Michigan House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Fireworks: other; local ordinances regarding firework regulation; allow in certain circumstances. Amends secs. 5 & 7 of 2011 PA 256 (MCL 28.455 & 28.457).

HB 5872 clarifies and expands the rules for selling and using consumer fireworks in Michigan by updating existing state laws. The bill requires retailers to have specific fire safety equipment, such as automatic sprinkler systems in certain buildings, and mandates that they provide customers with a notice listing the dates and times when fireworks can be legally used. It also restricts local governments from banning the sale or storage of fireworks but allows them to set rules about when and where people can light them off, while protecting specific holidays like the Fourth of July from restrictions. Additionally, the legislation permits cities with large populations to regulate the use of temporary structures, like tents, used for displaying fireworks.
