A 1093 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Prohibits use of fireworks under certain circumstances.

This bill prohibits the use of fireworks on public roads (streets, highways, alleys) and on properties adjacent to where horses are housed or boarded. It directly affects residents, event organizers, and the general public who might use fireworks in these specific locations. The key provision amends existing law to add these restrictions, making such use a violation punishable as a disorderly persons offense. Penalties include up to six months in jail, a $1,000 fine, or both for violations. The bill does not change existing rules about fireworks sales, possession, or use elsewhere.
