Prohibits use of fireworks on property adjacent to animal shelter, pound, or kennel.
This bill prohibits the use of fireworks on any property, street, road, or alley directly adjacent to an animal shelter, pound, or kennel licensed under New Jersey law. It applies to anyone setting off fireworks near these facilities, including residents, businesses, or event organizers in neighboring areas. The law amends existing fireworks regulations to add this specific restriction, which was not previously covered under general prohibitions. Violating this rule is a disorderly persons offense, punishable by up to six months in jail, a $1,000 fine, or both.
