Hold property owners liable for illegal fireworks on their property
In Plain English
Richmond currently struggles to enforce its fireworks ban due to staffing shortages across multiple departments. The new law makes property owners automatically responsible for any illegal fireworks used on their land, even if someone else set them off. If approved, owners face fines without needing proof they personally used fireworks.
