This bill amends existing laws regarding the sale and regulation of consumer fireworks in Iowa. It allows for the sale of consumer fireworks from a permanent structure year-round, removing the previous restrictions that limited sales to specific dates between June 1 and July 8, and December 10 and January 3. However, the bill maintains the current restrictions on the sale of fireworks from temporary structures, which are still limited to the period from June 13 to July 8.
Additionally, the bill prohibits county boards of supervisors and city councils from imposing restrictions on the use of consumer fireworks, display fireworks, or novelties on July 3, July 4, and December 31. This aligns with existing regulations that permit the use of fireworks on these specific days, while still adhering to the general restrictions outlined in Code section 727.2 regarding the use of fireworks on other days.
