Indiana § 22-11-14-7

• Jurisdiction: Indiana
• Art. 11: BUILDING AND SAFETY REGULATIONS
• Ch. 14: Regulation of Fireworks by Fire Marshal

Text

(a) A retailer selling items referenced in
section 8(a) of this chapter at one (1) or more temporary stands must
obtain a fireworks stand retail sales permit, referred to in this section
as a "permit", from the state fire marshal.
(b) An application for a permit must be made before June 1 of each
year and must require that at least the following information be
supplied by the retailer:
(1) The retailer's retail merchant certificate number or proof of
application for a certificate number.
(2) The location of each retail sales stand.
The state fire marshal shall, within seven (7) days after the receipt of
an application for a permit, either issue the permit or notify the
applicant of the denial of the permit.
(c) The retailer must pay to the state fire marshal an annual permit
fee set under IC 22-12-6-8. If the state fire marshal approves an
application for a permit, the state fire marshal shall issue a permit to
the retailer. The permit expires one (1) year after the date of issuance.
(d) The permit shall be posted by the retailer at the retail sales stand
so that it is easily seen by the public. However, the state fire marshal's
issuance of a permit does not constitute approval of the fireworks
offered for sale by the retailer. The retailer is responsible for
determining that all fireworks which the retailer offers for sale conform
to applicable law.
(e) At each retail sales stand, the retailer shall provide:
(1) a posted certificate of compliance, including a descriptive list
of approved fireworks; and
(2) a salesperson who is at least sixteen (16) years of age.
(f) Fireworks may not be sold at retail from a motor vehicle (as
defined in IC 9-13-2-105).
(g) Fireworks, not including those referenced in section 8(a) of this
chapter, may not be sold from or stored at a temporary stand.
