Snyder
Michiganians now will be able to ring in 2012 with more bangs and booms.
On Tuesday, Gov. Rick Snyder signed a bill legalizing all types of fireworks in Michigan, ending a longstanding ban against projectile fireworks and explosive such as firecrackers.
The bill, which will take effect on Jan. 1, passed with heavy bipartisan support in November before heading to the governor’s desk.
The bill’s many supporters have said it will make Michigan businesses more competitive, ending the practice of Michigan citizens bringing back illegal types of fireworks from Ohio and Indiana.
