Hawaii's governor is taking a stronger stance against fireworks misuse after a devastating New Year's Eve explosion. The proposed bill includes fines of up to $300 and increased prison time for offenders, aiming to prevent such tragedies. With fireworks safety being a major concern, the state is looking to tighten regulations and raise awareness about responsible celebration practices, potentially reducing fireworks-related accidents and injuries. This move is part of a broader effort to enhance public safety and security, especially during holidays. Key measures include stricter enforcement and public education campaigns.
