HCC §17-2-45
Rules for getting and using a fireworks permit
Read the official text at hawaiicounty.gov ↗This section sets the basic rules for fireworks permits. Only adults can get one, and permits cannot be given to someone else. A permit lasts for one calendar year, but you can only use fireworks at the exact place, date, and time listed on it, and you must show the permit where people can see it.
