Fireworks for Freedom Act

This bill would suspend most state laws and some federal rules that govern fireworks displays from the date it becomes law through December 31, 2026, the 250th anniversary year of the United States. During that time, states could not enforce their own permit, licensing, storage, setback, notification, fire code, burn restriction, or noise rules for fireworks displays. The waiver would cover only conducting the display and using fireworks at the display site during the event. Counties, cities, tribes, fire districts, and other local governments would keep full power to permit, restrict, or ban displays, and federal laws on explosives licensing, hazardous materials shipping, product safety, workplace safety, and clean air would stay in effect. State and federal laws on making, selling, and buying fireworks would also remain in force.
