SB413

Allows civil actions for illegal fireworks use, aiding or abetting, and storage.

The bill establishes a civil cause of action for individuals to sue those who illegally use, store, or aid in the use of fireworks. It allows for injunctive relief, statutory damages of at least $10,000 per violation, and reasonable costs and attorney's fees. The bill aims to lower the burden of proof to a preponderance of the evidence, facilitating easier enforcement of fireworks laws. It does not affect rights and duties that matured, penalties incurred, or proceedings begun before the bill's effective date.
