DescriptionThe $62 billion state budget signed by Gov. Jim Doyle this week both funds government and eases the state's fireworks laws.

Under 2009 Wisconsin Act 28, a mayor, village president or town chairperson now can designate any person to act as a liaison and issue permits to possess and ignite what otherwise would be illegal fireworks.
