Folsom City Council unanimously passed the first reading of the proposed fireworks ordinance.
The ordinance may go into effect 30 days after a second reading and adoption. The second meeting is scheduled for May 25.
Original Story:
The Folsom City Council is looking to update a city municipal code that would fine property owners and/or those hosting gatherings on public or private property for use of illegal fireworks.
The proposed “Social Host Ordinance” follows suit with a similar one that will be voted on by the Sacramento City Council later in May. And just like in Sacramento, Folsom city officials say the update is meant to strengthen enforcement capabilities of existing illegal fireworks laws.
