Summary

The bill lets each county board of education authorize fireworks displays on public school property, but only if a licensed professional pyrotechnician runs the show and a State Fire Marshal permit is obtained (except for very small fireworks). Sponsors must carry at least $1 million in liability insurance and the board may add extra safety conditions. It aims to enable community or celebratory events while protecting students, staff, and the public.
