  • Repeals and replaces sections 320.106, 320.131, and 320.136 of Missouri law relating to fireworks regulations and definitions.

  • Updates fireworks classification references from outdated Department of Transportation designations (class C and class B) to current 49 CFR Part 172 standards (UNO336 for consumer fireworks, UN0333/UN0334/UNO335 for display fireworks, UN0431/UN0432 for proximate fireworks).
