THE BRISTOL VIRGINIA CITY COUNCIL HAS APPROVED TOUGHER ORDINANCES ON THE CITY'S FIREWORKS BAN. THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVED NEW LAW YESTERDAY THAT GIVES ALL POLICE OFFICERS THE ABILITY TO IMMEDIATELY CITE THOSE VIOLATING THE BAN. UNDER THE OLD LAW, ONLY SPECIFIC DESIGNATED POLICE OFFICERS HAD THE POWER TO ENFORCE THE ANTI-FIREWORKS CODE.
