More Iowa cities are putting policies in place as the state prepares for the legal sale and use of most fireworks on June 1st. City leaders in Sioux City passed an ordinance that allows for the use of fireworks in the city from June 25th through July 4th from one P-M until ten P-M with hours extended to 11 P-M on July 4th. They may also be used December 30th through January 1st during the same times. Sioux City Police Department Captain Rex Mueller says officers will be out to enforce the new regulations.

City Attorney Nicole Dubois says the law spells out the penalty options if you get a citation for using fireworks.

Fireworks in Iowa had been outlawed for the past seventy-five years.
