Staff Analysis of the Legislation

Current law only allows certain sparklers, sparkling devices and limted other items to be legally sold as fireworks in Georgia. This bill greatly expands that, allowing any fireworks to be sold that are not illegal under Federal law. Counties and cities would have the authority to prohibit or otherwise regulate what fireworks could be sold within their respective jurisdictions.
