Kansas State Fireworks Sales and Use Regulations

Under K.S.A. 31-151 through 31-159 and K.A.R. 22-6-1 et seq., the Kansas State Fire Marshal licenses fireworks distributors, wholesalers, and retailers. Statutory retail sales are permitted only from June 27 through July 5 each year. Bottle rockets are prohibited statewide. Local governments may further restrict or ban discharge but cannot expand the state sales calendar or authorize prohibited devices. Display fireworks require a separate licensed pyrotechnic operator. Sellers must obtain registration, inspections, and post bonds in accordance with Fire Marshal regulations.

Selling without a license, selling outside permitted dates, or possessing prohibited devices like bottle rockets is a class B misdemeanor with fines up to $1,000 and seizure of fireworks.
