Starting next year, Ohioans can light off bottle rockets, Roman candles and more while celebrating certain holidays.

Gov. Mike DeWine signed legislation on Monday that will revamp the state's fireworks law after a years-long push by the industry to legalize their use. Ohio previously only allowed consumers to use sparklers and a handful of other pyrotechnics, and anything else had to be taken out of state within 48 hours of purchase.

Here's what you need to know about the new law. 

Adults can begin using consumer fireworks starting July 1, 2022.

Legal firework use in Ohio is cleared for the following days:

You can only set off fireworks on your own property or another private property with the owner's permission.

The law allows municipalities to opt-out or restrict the dates and times, so be sure to double check the rules with your local officials. 

You can't light up your yard while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and anyone found guilty will be convicted of a first-degree misdemeanor. You could face a disorderly conduct violation, as well.

It's also illegal to ignite fireworks on another person's property without their permission. 

Safety advocates agree on one key point: There's no risk-free way to use fireworks. Sherry Williams of Prevent Blindness Ohio said they expect injuries to increase in the wake of Ohio's new law and will continue to educate consumers about the dangers.

"It's still an inherently unsafe activity to put explosives in the hands of consumers," she said. "Not only are they putting themselves in danger, but they're putting innocent bystanders in danger."

That said, Ohio's new law provides safety guidance that retailers must include in a pamphlet for customers. Those recommendations include:

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission further instructs people to light one firework at a time, never throw them at anyone and never carry them in your pocket. Consumers should also avoid buying products in a brown paper bag, as they are likely for professional displays and not personal use.

In addition to the pamphlet, licensed retailers and wholesalers in Ohio must offer safety glasses to customers for free or at a nominal charge.
