Allows private citizens to sue for civil damages for illegal fireworks use or aiding such use.

The bill amends Hawaii law to allow any person, excluding state or local government employees, to bring a civil action against those who use or aid in the use of fireworks in violation of the Fireworks Control Law. The bill aims to address the difficulty of prosecuting fireworks violations due to the high burden of proof required. It allows for civil actions with a lower burden of proof, lowering the threshold to a preponderance of the evidence.
