SSB 1104 Iowa Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to county and city regulation of consumer fireworks.

This bill amends Iowa law to clarify that county boards of supervisors and city councils cannot restrict the use of consumer fireworks on July 3, July 4, or December 31. It directly affects local governments (counties and cities) that previously had authority to ban fireworks on those dates under certain conditions. The key provision prevents local authorities from prohibiting or limiting fireworks on these specific dates, aligning with existing statewide allowances for those days. This change ensures consistent access to fireworks on July 4 and New Year's Eve without requiring local safety or nuisance determinations. The bill focuses on policy mechanics, not outcomes, and does not alter other existing fireworks regulations.
