Oklahoma Fireworks Sales Bill Would Allow Year-Round Sales

Oklahoma Fireworks Sales Bill Passes Senate

An Oklahoma fireworks sales bill is moving forward after gaining approval in the State Senate, according to the Oklahoma Senate.

The measure would remove current time restrictions on when fireworks can be sold in the state.

What the Oklahoma Fireworks Sales Bill Changes

Under the Oklahoma fireworks sales bill, retailers would be allowed to sell fireworks year-round, as long as sales take place on private property.

Current law limits most sales to specific holiday windows, including the Fourth of July and New Year’s, as regulated by the Oklahoma State Fire Marshal.

Exceptions Still Apply

Even with expanded sales, the Oklahoma fireworks sales bill maintains key restrictions.

Fireworks sales would still be prohibited:

• During active burn bans

• When local noise ordinances are in effect

Those rules are typically enforced at the county and municipal level under guidance from the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture Food and Forestry.

What Happens Next

The Oklahoma fireworks sales bill now moves to the Oklahoma House for further consideration.
