The Citizens Against Noise Pollution of Trinidad and Tobago (CANPTT) is calling for stronger enforcement and clear legal protections for residents under the Summary Offences (Amendment) Bill, 2025, otherwise called the Fireworks Regulation Bill, warning that the proposed law will fail without firm action on the ground.
The bill was later passed in the Lower House of Parliament yesterday.
In a statement, CANPTT acknowledged the bill as a step forward, saying it marks the first time explosive pyrotechnics are being addressed as a public health and national safety issue. However, the group said the legislation remains incomplete and insufficient to protect citizens.
