HB 4731 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

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

HB 4731 amends Michigan's Fireworks Safety Act to allow local governments to regulate when and where residents can use consumer fireworks on specific holidays (like New Year's Eve, Memorial Day weekend, July 4, and Labor Day weekend), while prohibiting them from banning fireworks sales. It requires retailers to provide clear notices about permitted usage times and local rules with each purchase. The bill also permits local ordinances governing temporary structures (like tents) used for fireworks sales, but does not allow bans on retail sales or transportation. This directly affects local governments, retailers, and residents by clarifying permissible usage windows and retailer responsibilities.
