💨 Abstract

In Iowa, a Republican-controlled legislature has passed a bill to prevent local officials from restricting small, neighborhood fireworks displays on July 3, July 4, and December 31. The bill, which aims to align with President Trump's vision for the U.S.'s 250th-birthday celebrations, was approved despite Democratic concerns over fire safety and potential harm to veterans with PTSD. Iowa's Governor Kim Reynolds is expected to review the bill.
