Full Breakdown
Florida HB 1059 (2020) created three designated holidays on which consumer fireworks may be legally discharged: July 4th, December 31st (New Year's Eve), and January 1st (New Year's Day). Coral Springs adopts the Florida Fire Prevention Code through Chapter 7 of its Code of Ordinances. On non-designated days, the sale and use of consumer fireworks is restricted under Florida Statute Section 791.04, with only sparklers and certain novelty items permitted year-round.
