Section 230.10  Scope

This Part implements the Pyrotechnic Distributor and Operator Licensing Act [225 ILCS 227] and applies to all individuals who distribute display fireworks or conduct pyrotechnic displays, or are responsible for the safety, setup, discharge and supervision of a pyrotechnic display in this State.  This Part is intended to supplement the requirements of any federal, State or local laws and regulations governing the distribution or sale of fireworks, including the safety, setup, discharge and supervision of pyrotechnic displays, but shall be construed, wherever possible, to avoid conflicting or duplicative requirements.  In the event of a conflict between this Part and the laws and rules enforced by agencies of the federal government, including the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the laws and rules enforced by agencies of the federal government shall control.  However, provisions of this Part shall not be deemed to be in conflict with federal requirements on the basis that they are more specific than, more stringent than, or impose requirements for which no like requirements are contained in, laws and rules enforced by agencies of the federal government.  Further, should there be a conflict between this Part and the laws and rules enforced by the local governmental agency, this Part shall control to the extent that provisions of this Part are more specific than, more stringent than, or impose requirements for which no like requirements are contained in, laws and rules enforced by the local governmental agency.
