This bill amends RSA 160-B:10 to allow municipalities that permit fireworks displays to have their local fire departments inspect the display sites. Specifically, it introduces new provisions that enable local fire departments to assess the safety of fireworks displays and determine the necessary presence of fire personnel and equipment during these events. The local fire chief is granted the authority to decide the duration of the fire department's presence at the display.

Additionally, the bill maintains the existing framework that allows municipalities to vote on whether to permit or prohibit fireworks displays, ensuring that any prior prohibitions remain in effect unless changed by subsequent action. The effective date of the bill is set for 60 days after its passage.
