Wyoming regulates consumer fireworks under the Michigan Fireworks Safety Act (MCL 28.451+, as amended by PA 257 of 2018), which preempts a full local ban but lets cities restrict ignition to the day before, day of, and day after national holidays. Permitted windows include the Memorial Day, July 4, Labor Day, and New Year's Eve holiday clusters with use ending by 11:45 p.m. (1:00 a.m. for New Year's).
Michigan's Fireworks Safety Act (PA 256 of 2011, MCL 28.451 et seq.) legalized consumer-grade aerial fireworks statewide but, as amended by PA 257 of 2018, gives local governments authority to restrict use to specific holiday windows. In Wyoming (population over 50,000), consumer fireworks may be ignited only on: December 31 from 11:00 a.m. through 1:00 a.m. on January 1; the Saturday and Sunday immediately before Memorial Day from 11:00 a.m. to 11:45 p.m.; June 29 to July 4 from 11:00 a.m. to 11:45 p.m.; July 5 if it falls on a Friday or Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 11:45 p.m.; and the Saturday and Sunday immediately before Labor Day from 11:00 a.m. to 11:45 p.m. Igniting consumer fireworks on public property, school property, church property, or another person's property without express permission is prohibited statewide under MCL 28.457. Sale to anyone under 18 is prohibited. Civil fines under the Act run up to $1,000 per violation. The Wyoming Department of Public Safety enforces local restrictions, and complaints concentrate around Independence Day.
Igniting consumer fireworks outside the permitted holiday windows, after the 11:45 p.m. (or 1:00 a.m. New Year) cutoff, or on public, school, church, or another person's property without permission, violates MCL 28.457. The state Act authorizes civil fines up to $1,000 per violation. Wyoming officers may seize illegal fireworks and refer commercial violations for additional prosecution.
