LANSING, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – A bill introduced in Lansing would put a damper on some fireworks celebrations and shorten the number of days when Michiganders can shoot off consumer fireworks.

The idea is backed by pet owners and others who want more days of quiet. However, the move is receiving pushback from fireworks businesses and enthusiasts who say the current law imposes enough restrictions.

State Sen. Paul Wojno (D-Warren) introduced Senate Bill 17 which would cut four days around July 4 when people can shoot off firecrackers and other low-grade consumer explosives from 11 a.m. to 11:45 p.m.

Current state law prohibits the local regulation of consumer fireworks between June 29 and July 4 as well as July 5 if it falls on a Friday or Saturday. The bill would limit shooting off fireworks to July 3 and July 4, plus the July 5 exception.

In addition, the bill would empower certain densely populated cities and towns to regulate the use of consumer fireworks, or those used by the general public as opposed to professional displays outside of Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day and New Year’s Eve.
