(ii) Promulgate reasonable rules and regulations for authorizing the sale of fireworks.

The proposition shall be submitted at a primary or general election, if the petition or resolution is certified sixty (60) days prior to the primary or general election. If the proposition fails, no such petition shall be submitted for four (4) years following the election.
