SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — Sacramento city council has passed a new ordinance designed to crack down on illegal fireworks.
On Tuesday, the council passed the ordinance that fines property owners where illegal fireworks are being used. People who use illegal fireworks on streets and sidewalks in front of people’s homes can also be fined.
The initial fine would be $1,000 and go up to $5,000 for multiple violations.
City leaders that because tickets would be sent by mail instead of in-person, police officers would not be the only ones who could issue citations.
