HB 647 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Fireworks; require to be located within a permanent structure.

HB 647 would require all fireworks sold at retail or wholesale to be stored and displayed inside a permanent building, not in temporary stands. The bill mandates specific safety measures, including "FIREWORKS-NO SMOKING" signs, two approved fire extinguishers (or water barrels/buckets as an alternative), and requiring fireworks to stay in original packaging unless staff are present at the counter. It directly affects businesses selling fireworks by changing their storage and display requirements. The bill was introduced in 2025 but died in committee before becoming law.
