New Sacramento ordinance would fine property owners, renters for illegal fireworks use Matthew Nuttle UP NEXT
Sacramento city leaders are looking to strengthen an ordinance that would give local law enforcement more power to issue tickets for using illegal fireworks.
The proposed amendment has two major components. One is the “Social Host Ordinance” which would hold property owners and/or renters responsible for any illegal fireworks activity happening on their property.
“If we happen to see illegal fireworks activity, as much as a visual verification of a firework leaving the ground or exploding at a property, then we can issue a citation to the owner or the renter or to the person responsible for the property,” Sacramento City Fire Marshal Jason Lee said.
