SB 672 - This act limits where special firework shows may be conducted. Any enclosed venue with a maximum occupancy of less than three thousand or any enclosed venue with a floor to ceiling height of less than forty feet shall be prohibited from receiving a license to have a special fire work show. All enclosed venues who wish to have special firework shows will be required to have a permit. Violators of the section would be guilty of Class A misdemeanor.

The act requires that no firework shall be discharged between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. However, the seven days preceding and following July 4th and the three days preceding and following New Years Eve of each year, discharge of fireworks shall only be prohibited between the hours of 12:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. The governing body of any city, town, or village may grant exemptions to this provision. Any political subdivision may enact more stringent regulations that this section establishes. The act also limits the discharge of fireworks in an imprudent, disorderly, or reckless manner. Any violation would be a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of not more than $250.
