Bill > SB1948

This bill, known as the "Rocket's Red Glare Act," makes several changes to Oklahoma's fireworks laws, including removing the previous requirement that fireworks could only be sold within specific time frames throughout the year, allowing for year-round sales by licensed retailers. It also prohibits counties from restricting private, non-commercial outdoor consumer fireworks displays under certain conditions, such as when there is no county burn ban in effect and specific weather conditions are met (low wind, sufficient humidity, and adequate fuel moisture), though individuals using fireworks under these conditions must notify their local fire department beforehand. Additionally, the bill removes the prohibition on the sale and distribution of skyrockets with sticks, which were previously defined by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and often referred to as "bottle rockets" or "stick rockets." The bill also declares an emergency, meaning it will take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
