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 does not change the current limitations on sales from temporary structures, which remain restricted to 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 provisions in Code section 727.2, which outlines specific times when fireworks can be used, including extended hours on certain holidays. The changes aim to enhance the accessibility and enjoyment of consumer fireworks while maintaining public safety considerations.
