Iowa SSB1104 modifies regulations on consumer fireworks, allowing local governments to restrict their use based on safety and nuisance concerns.

Iowa SSB1104 amends existing law to allow county boards of supervisors and city councils to restrict or limit the use of consumer fireworks, display fireworks, and novelties based on public safety, private property, or nuisance concerns. Previously, only boards of supervisors could restrict fireworks use if it posed a threat or nuisance, while city councils could do so without such a determination. The bill also specifies certain days and times when fireworks can be used, including exceptions for certain holidays and weekends. Violators face misdemeanor charges.
