Two Michigan legislators (Abdullah Hammoud D-Dearborn and Brian Elder D-Bay City) are trying to fool, scam, mislead their constituents and Michigan residents by introducing HB 4924 to give more information to fireworks buyers and to protect children Their Bill is an attempt to do nothing but look like they are doing something while the whole Michigan Legislature does nothing to repeal the dangerous and deadly fireworks legislation they previously passed - to get tax dollars only !!!

LANSING, MI - Two state representatives are pushing for changes to the state's fireworks rules.
Rep. Abdullah Hammoud, D-Dearborn, introduced House Bill 4924. It would require those who sell fireworks to post a sign in a conspicuous place reminding buyers of any limitation on the hours and days of ignition, local ordinances regarding fireworks and limitations on using fireworks on others' property.
The sign would also have to include safety reminders like the prohibition of use by minors, limitations on the use of fireworks while under the influence of alcohol and a person's liability for damage or injury caused by fireworks.

"Throughout the summer, we received numerous constituent complaints about fireworks, and it is clear that reform is needed," Hammoud said. "The fireworks law is not likely to be repealed anytime soon, so let's make it safer. Our intent is to promote and increase the responsible use of fireworks."
Rep. Brian Elder, D-Bay City, is the sponsor of House Bill 4295. It would prohibit minors from discharging or using consumer fireworks without the presence of an adult.
"Michigan's fireworks law was changed in 2011 to allow adults to purchase more powerful fireworks," Elder said. "I can't think of one good reason why minors should be able to use these dangerous explosives without the supervision of an adult. Most importantly, this proposal aims to prevent injuries to our state's children as well as reduce property damage and wildfires."
