Fireworks stand retail sales permit; requirements
Sec. 7. (a) A retailer selling fireworks 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 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, he 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 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 he offers for sale conform to
applicable law.
(e) At each stand, the retailer shall provide:
(1) a posted certificate of compliance, including a descriptive
list of approved fireworks; and
(2) a supervisor who is at least sixteen (16) years of age.
(f) Fireworks may not be sold at retail from trucks, vans, or
automobiles.
