(Columbus, OH) A pair of state lawmakers are proposing to make consumer fireworks legal in Ohio.
State law right now allows people to buy and transport fireworks in the state, but not shoot them off-- it's been on the books for more than 20 years. But one co-sponsor of a bill to change all that says current law is not working.
So a proposed bill would ease restrictions and allow the state to add a four percent fee on fireworks, which would go to Ohio’s fire prevention and education fund.
