A new bill no longer makes cities wait one year to ban fireworks.
Under current law, jurisdictions that enact a fireworks ban must wait up to one year before the restrictions can go into effect. HB 2307, sponsored by Rep. Joe Fitzgibbon (D–Burien), removes the one-year waiting period and allows cities to implement restrictions immediately.
HB 2307 is currently in the House Rules Committee awaiting a vote of the House of Representatives.
AWC supports the legislation.
