Ohio statewide rule

Since the 2022 law (R.C. 3743.45, effective July 2022), Ohioans may discharge 1.4G consumer fireworks, including aerials, on specified holidays — unless their local subdivision (city, village, township, or county) has banned or restricted them. Many Ohio communities have opted out, making it a local-option state.
