Simi Valley drops plan to fine owners for fireworks
Council rejects a grand jury push for new civil penalties as local reports fall.
The Simi Valley City Council voted against a new ordinance that would have let the city fine property owners for illegal fireworks on their land. The measure came after the Ventura County Civil Grand Jury urged local leaders to take stronger action. Officials decided against the extra penalties, noting that calls about fireworks have dropped significantly since 2023. The city will continue relying on current rules to handle the issue.
