The following comment by two state legislators (one current and one former) shows why we need to be much more careful in who we elect to the general assembly.

The statute gives local authorities complete authority to pass fireworks ordinances, except during a limited number of holidays with set time frames. While it's true that the legislature did not anticipate periods of drought during those holidays.

Apparently the legislature is made up of people who are so shockingly stupid that they did not understand that a drought can take place at any point, INCLUDING holidays.

Or they're not stupid at all, just bought and paid for by the fireworks lobby.
