HONOLULU (KHON2) -- It's possible certain consumer fireworks might be legal on Oahu once again, if the Honolulu City Council overrides the Mayor's veto of Bill 22. Get Hawaii's latest morning news delivered to your inbox, sign up for News 2 You The Mayor, in a letter to the council last week, said his veto was because he stood "in support of our firefighters and first responders and cannot in good conscience allow Bill 22 to become law." Bill 22 would lift the city's 14 year ban on consumer fireworks, specifically fountains, sparklers, and morning glories. Discussion on the bill was placed on next week's agenda, indicating it's possible the full council could vote to override the Mayor's veto. A two-thirds majority vote is needed to override the bill. It passed third reading on an 8 to 1 vote, so support for the measure is there. Maui surfer’s leg ‘completely severed’ in shark attack "We had a ban on fireworks 14 years now and I think it's time we find some balance so our kids can enjoy sparklers and fountains like we did when we were growing up. Having a total ban hasn't worked. if anything has fueled the black market," said Councilmember Augie Tulba in support of the Bill during the October 9 council hearing. "I do feel it's important for HFD to have the position they have. We always want them protecting our communities, but at the same time, we know the ban currently isn't working," said Councilmember Andria Tupola during the October 9 council hearing. "I mean, Waipahu has one of the most beautiful fireworks show we see every year from Waikele so I think we have to get to a point where we're able to legalize portions of it that are safe, that are responsible." The Honolulu Fire Department and Emergency Management Services have been strong opponents to the bill from the start, testifying that Oahu will see an inevitable increase in building and wildland fires and medical emergencies. "We believe by prioritizing safety over consumer fireworks is crucial in protecting our community," testified Craig Uchimura, HFD Assistant Chief at the October 9 city council hearing.
