Hawaii SB1052 addresses the illegal use of fireworks by modifying penalties for certain offenses. It reduces the penalty for possessing, setting off, igniting, or discharging aerial devices, display fireworks, or articles pyrotechnic without a valid permit to a civil violation if the total weight is less than twenty-five pounds. The bill also makes it a misdemeanor to transfer or sell fireworks to someone without a valid permit or to extract pyrotechnic contents from fireworks to construct new devices.
