Fireworks; revise dates of sale and reduce violation to misdemeanor.
SB 2210 revises Mississippi's fireworks sales schedule, allowing retail sales only from May 23 to July 12 and December 5 to January 9 annually. It reduces penalties for violating fireworks laws from felonies to misdemeanors, with fines up to $5,000 for repeat offenses. The bill also adds civil liability, requiring sellers of illegal fireworks to cover injuries, deaths, or property damage caused by their products. This directly affects retailers, distributors, and anyone selling fireworks in Mississippi. The law takes effect July 1, 2025.
