SALT LAKE CITY -- The Utah House unanimously passed a bill Monday that would require people who put on fireworks shows to seek a license from the Office of the State Fire Marshal.
House Bill 202 targets higher-end fireworks shows like those at festivals or mass celebrations.
It now advances to the Senate.
Under the proposal the Utah Fire Prevention Board would also have to establish competence standards for fireworks acts involving special effects.
Such acts generally use pyrotechnics to shoot large amounts of fireworks into the sky.
The bill would not require a license to practice without an audience.
Rep. Ronda Menlove, a Garland Republican, is the bill's sponsor.
