Hawaii SB1052 reduces penalties for fireworks offenses to civil violations to expedite enforcement.
Hawaii SB1052 aims to address health and safety issues caused by illegal fireworks use by reducing penalties for certain fireworks offenses to civil violations. Importing, transferring, or possessing fireworks without proper permits or licenses will now result in fines rather than criminal charges, depending on the weight of the fireworks. The bill does not affect any rights, duties, penalties, or proceedings that occurred before its effective date.
