MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Rep. Pete P. Gallego

House Bill 1167

House Bill 1167 relates to the regulation of fireworks by counties during drought conditions. Under current law, cities are allowed to ban all fire works. Counties are allowed to ban only fireworks with sticks or fins - even under statewide burn bans and drought conditions.

HB 1167 would allow counties the same authority to ban all fireworks under these conditions and protect communities from major fires by empowering their local communities.
