Hawaii Lawmakers Urged to Fund Staffing and Resources for Illegal Fireworks Crackdown

Credited from: APNEWS

  • Hawaii authorities have requested $5.2 million to hire additional staff and enhance forensic capabilities to combat illegal fireworks.
  • The request follows a deadly New Year’s Eve explosion that killed four individuals and injured about 20 others.
  • The funding aim is to support an existing Illegal Fireworks Task Force that has seized over 227,000 pounds of contraband.
  • Currently, only a single forensics lab in Hawaii can analyze fireworks, causing delays and challenges in enforcement.
  • Lawmakers will address this funding during the upcoming legislative session starting January 15.
