- Consumer fireworks cannot be ignited or discharged on a public or private property without express permission of the property owner.
- Consumer fireworks or sparkling devices cannot be discharged from or within a motor vehicle or building.
- Consumer fireworks or sparkling devices cannot be discharged toward a motor vehicle or building or at another person.
- Consumer fireworks cannot be discharged within 150 feet of an occupied structure, whether or not a person is actually present.
- Consumer fireworks or sparkling devices cannot be discharged while the person is under the influence of alcohol, a controlled substance, or another drug.
