This bill amends existing laws regarding the use and possession of fireworks in Wyoming, specifically prohibiting counties and municipalities from regulating or banning fireworks on July 4, unless such regulations are part of an open fire ban. It allows for the use and possession of fireworks in state parks, campgrounds, and similar areas on July 4, provided that the use is permissible under the act. The bill introduces new language that clarifies that municipal ordinances cannot prohibit or regulate fireworks during this time, and it also specifies that county resolutions cannot impose such prohibitions either.

Additionally, the bill modifies the definition of fireworks and outlines the conditions under which they can be used in state parks and other designated areas. It allows for the use or possession of fireworks without restriction in these areas on July 4, except where an open fire ban is in effect. The effective date of the act is immediate upon completion of the necessary legislative processes.
