Committee approves amendments to fireworks season rules in Senate Bill 199
Summary
The committee amended and passed Senate Bill 199 to expand fireworks season rules, change licensing and an effective-date reference to the Kansas Register to allow the rule changes to take effect before July 4.
A committee voted to pass Senate Bill 199 as amended after a brief discussion about effective dates and administrative references. The bill, described by legislative staff, would expand the time of the state’s fireworks season, adjust licensing and the number of licenses, and make other regulatory changes.
Committee members debated an amendment to change the effective date language on page six to replace “statute book” with “Kansas Register” so the change could be implemented in time for the July 4 holiday. Representative Ward seconded the amendment; the committee approved the amendment by voice vote. A motion to pass the bill as amended was seconded by Representative Sutton and approved by voice vote.
A committee member said the change was intended to ensure the provisions would be in place before July 4. No roll-call tally was recorded in the hearing transcript; the committee passed the bill by voice vote.
