The bill amends the Arkansas Code regarding the permissible sales of fireworks. Specifically, it changes the start date for retail sales of fireworks from June 20 to June 13, allowing residents to purchase fireworks earlier in the summer season. The sales period remains unchanged for the winter season, continuing from December 10 through January 5.
This adjustment aims to provide residents with an extended timeframe to purchase fireworks for summer celebrations, while maintaining the existing regulations for winter sales. The bill reflects a legislative effort to enhance the availability of fireworks during key holiday periods in Arkansas.
