JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe signed a public safety bill into law Tuesday that aims to modernize the state’s fireworks regulations.
The newly-signed bill, Senate Bill 81, brings Missouri’s fireworks standards in line with 2022 standards from the American Fireworks Standards Laboratory.

The Fire Marshal may also now suspend or revoke licenses if a permit holder denies an inspection or if alcohol or drug use occurs at retail sites.
