Bill > HB1938

This bill amends Hawaii Revised Statutes Chapter 132D to create a new section prohibiting the use of fireworks, including aerial devices, articles pyrotechnic, consumer fireworks, or display fireworks, in the presence of a minor under the age of sixteen unless the person has a valid permit and follows all safety rules. "In the presence of a minor under the age of sixteen" is defined as being physically with a minor or knowing a minor is present and can see or hear the fireworks. Violating this new law would be considered a misdemeanor, which is a less serious criminal offense.
