Michigan PA 256 of 2011 (amended by PA 65 of 2018) legalized consumer-grade 1.4G fireworks statewide for adults 18+. Lansing restricts discharge to the 12 designated state holiday windows (day before, of, and after each of 11 national holidays). Discharge is prohibited on all other days, with use cutoff at 11:45 PM (1:00 AM on July 4 and New Year's Day).
Michigan PA 256 of 2011 (the Michigan Fireworks Safety Act, MCL §28.451 et seq.), as amended by PA 65 of 2018, legalized consumer-grade Class 1.4G fireworks for adults 18 and older. Local governments may restrict ignition outside specifically protected holiday windows: the day before, day of, and day after New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, July 4 (plus the Saturdays and Sundays preceding and following), Labor Day, and similar federal holidays. Lansing Code Chapter 804 takes the maximum permitted local restriction: discharge of consumer fireworks is prohibited on all non-designated days. On permitted days, fireworks may be used until 11:45 PM, except on July 4 (extended to 1:00 AM the next day) and December 31/January 1 (also 1:00 AM). Discharge on any other person's property without permission, on public property, on streets, or by anyone under the influence remains illegal at all times. Display (1.3G) fireworks require a permit from the Lansing Fire Marshal under MCL §28.453.
Discharging consumer fireworks on a non-designated day is a municipal civil infraction with a fine of $1,000 per occurrence as authorized by PA 65 of 2018. Use after 11:45 PM on otherwise legal days is also citable. Discharge on another's property without permission is a misdemeanor. Lansing Fire Department coordinates enforcement on July 4 weekend.
