SB 174 - This act modifies several definitions relating to fireworks standards, manufacturers and sellers of fireworks, and other pyrotechnic definitions and updates the edition of the American Fireworks Standards Laboratory (AFSL) from the 2012 edition to the 2022 edition. This act also modifies the permit and licensing fees and penalties which the State Fire Marshal is authorized to assess. Fees for permits shall be deposited to the Fire Education Fund and the Cigarette Fire Safety Standard and Firefighter Protection Act Fund as provided in this act. The State Fire Marshal may refuse to issue a permit when the individual or partner of the individual is under suspension. This act also modifies provisions relating to permitting requirements for municipalities, fair associations, amusement parks, organizations, persons, firms, or corporations for outdoor fireworks displays. The permit shall be submitted to the State Fire Marshal a minimum of 10 days prior to the event. Additionally, this act provides that only holders of a state issued manufacturer or distributor permit shall be allowed to sell certain fireworks in Missouri and may only sell to persons who maintain a state issued manufacturer or distributor permit or a valid state issued display operator license or pyrotechnic effect operator license. Finally, proof of any required federal license or permit shall be required to finalize the sale. The State Fire Marshal shall inspect any establishment, venue, or shoot site where certain fireworks are to be discharged. Any person selling fireworks shall allow the State Fire Marshal to inspect any location where fireworks are stored, kept, or sold. Failure to allow an inspection shall result in suspension or revocation of the person's permit. Any new construction of a permanent structure in a jurisdiction without a local building code shall submit a full set of architectural plans to the State Fire Marshal for review. This act is similar to SB 1395 (2024) and HB 2546 (2024). JOSH NORBERG
