Enacted Jun 2017, the new law now allows the sale of 1.4G (not this code), however, per usual lawmakers were rushing to get this done and left much of the issue unaddressed.  A year passed and, of course, there have been a great many problems and now calls to repeal

In June 2017, the Iowa Legislature allowed the sale of fireworks in Iowa, but left the question as to where they would be bough and where they could be used to the various permitors.  Here is an opinion of what these entities should do.

OK.  This is the code that allows 1.4G sales in Iowa.  Again, enforcement of the new law was the problem.  The Legislature says "GO!" before they figure what entity does what, or how.  The IPA DID NOT endorse this Legislation and advised lawmakers against it.
