HI HB1631

Prohibits all consumer fireworks use within Hawaii except for cultural events (including religious events) that obtain a permit.

Eliminates previously allowed fireworks use on New Year's Eve, Fourth of July, and Chinese New Year by removing designated time windows for those holidays.

Requires a $25 permit for consumer fireworks used at cultural events, with a limit of 5,000 firecrackers per permit.

Expands the definition of "cultural" to explicitly include religious events and clarifies consumer fireworks regulations to comply with federal standards (16 CFR and 49 CFR).

Prohibits purchase, possession, sale, and furnishing of consumer fireworks within the State except by permit holders for approved cultural events, with violations of previous purchase-timing restrictions removed.
