A. An individual or entity shall have the appropriate Oklahoma license or permit to conduct an outdoor fireworks display on or after January 1, 2013.
B. To receive a manufacturer, distributor or wholesaler license, an applicant shall make application to the State Fire Marshal on a form prescribed by the State Fire Marshal. The application shall be accompanied by the required fee. An individual seeking a license as a sole proprietor or on behalf of a business entity shall be at least twenty-one (21) years of age and shall not have been convicted of or pled guilty or nolo contendere to any state or federal felony. In the case of a business seeking a license, no officer or member of its governing board shall have been convicted of or pled guilty or nolo contendere to any state or federal felony.
Nothing in this act shall be construed as applying to shipping, sale, possession or use of display fireworks when displayed by holders of a permit for a public display to be conducted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the State Fire Marshal Commission.
Applications for permits for display fireworks shall be submitted in writing prior to the date of display to the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) as defined by the NFPA 1123 where the display is to occur. If the display is in an area outside the jurisdiction of a municipality, application for the permit shall be submitted in writing to the Office of the State Fire Marshal ten (10) days prior to the date of the display. Every display shall be under the direction of a competent, responsible, licensed outdoor display operator, of legal age, and shall be conducted under the code of regulations as adopted by the State Fire Marshal Commission. The individual or organization applying for a permit shall submit to the AHJ evidence of a general liability insurance policy in an amount of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) or the amount set forth by the local governing authority. Before a permit is granted, a local fire inspector or an agent of the State Fire Marshal shall inspect and approve or reject the site of the display. No permit so granted shall be transferable.
