Change provisions relating to permits issued by the Nebraska State Patrol for the storage, use, or purchase of explosives and application requirements for display fireworks
LB 754 amends Nebraska law to update requirements for permits related to explosives and display fireworks. It adds new restrictions for explosives permits, prohibiting applicants with certain domestic violence misdemeanor convictions, active felony charges, or who are illegal immigrants. The bill also requires fingerprinting and background checks for individuals seeking to use explosives, and updates the application process for display fireworks permits handled by the State Fire Marshal. These changes directly affect businesses and individuals applying for explosives storage, use, or purchase permits, as well as those seeking professional fireworks display permits.
