HB1070

South Dakota retailers can now sell fireworks during two expanded periods—May 1 through June 26 and July 6 through August 31—by obtaining separate seasonal licenses instead of being limited to a single sales window. The bill removes the previous restriction that these extended-season sales were only allowed to out-of-state residents, making them available to all customers. Retailers west of the Missouri River must still provide customers with information about local fireworks restrictions and wildfire protection maps when selling outside the traditional June 27 to July 5 period.
