SB 394 Nevada Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to the sale of fireworks. (BDR 42-1077)

SB 394 prohibits the sale of fireworks to anyone under 18 years old, directly affecting retailers who must verify customer age and minors attempting to purchase fireworks. It amends county ordinance rules to ensure local regulations align with this age restriction, requiring that county or city ordinances about fireworks sales cannot conflict with the under-18 ban. The bill also establishes specific civil penalty ranges for violations, from $250-$1,000 for small quantities to $5,000-$10,000 for large-scale offenses. These changes apply to all counties and cities in Nevada where fireworks sales are regulated. The bill does not alter existing licensing requirements for retailers but mandates that penalties consider prior violations.
