The bill amends several sections of the Idaho Code related to the regulation of fireworks, specifically introducing the term "aerial common fireworks" and establishing guidelines for their sale and use. Aerial common fireworks are defined as those launched into the air above 20 feet, either by propulsion or mortar. The amendments also clarify the requirements for wholesale and import licenses, which are necessary for importing or selling fireworks, and stipulate that both aerial and nonaerial common fireworks can be sold at retail during specified periods around holidays.

Additionally, the bill outlines the permitting process for retail sales and public displays of fireworks, emphasizing the need for local authority approval and insurance coverage. It specifies that temporary fireworks stands must adhere to safety regulations and that short-term storage of fireworks is permitted under certain conditions. The bill declares an emergency, indicating that these changes are to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
