36-1606. Consumer fireworks regulation; state
preemption; further regulation of fireworks by local
jurisdiction
(L10, Ch. 286, sec. 3. Eff. 12/1/10)
The sale and use of permissible consumer fireworks are of statewide concern. The
regulation of permissible consumer fireworks pursuant to this article and their use is
not subject to further regulation by a governing body, except that an incorporated city
or town may regulate the use of permissible consumer fireworks within its corporate
limits and a county may regulate the use of permissible consumer fireworks within the
unincorporated areas of the county during times when there is a reasonable risk of
wildfires in the immediate county. This article does not prohibit the imposition by
ordinance of further regulations and prohibitions on the sale, use and possession of
fireworks other than permissible consumer fireworks by a governing body. A governing body
shall not permit or authorize the sale, use or possession of any fireworks in violation
of this article.
