727.2 - The New Fireworks Law

The Sale/Use of Fireworks in Iowa

The Sale/Use of Fireworks in Iowa

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

The Sale/Use of Fireworks in Iowa

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.

IA SF-489 - 1.4G Firework Sales

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.

Fireworks Report on Hills, IA Groundwater Contamination

Fireworks have been blamed for contaminating wells across the nation.  This report is proof of why they can't and how any contamination would be totally unsustainable if they were ever the source - highly unlikely (read silly)
