Any license issued pursuant to this chapter may be revoked by the department if the licensee violates any provision of this chapter or if the licensee stores or handles the fireworks in such a manner as to present an unreasonable safety hazard.
(c) It shall be unlawful for any person, other than a wholesaler who is selling or transferring fireworks to a licensed retailer, to sell or offer to sell any fireworks:
(1) More than seven calendar days prior to the designated period for use as described in section 132D-3(1);
(2) At other than the designated periods for use set forth in section 132D-3(1), unless the purchaser presents a valid permit; or

The permit shall be signed by the seller or transferor at the time of sale or transfer of the fireworks, and the seller or transferor shall indicate on the permit the amount and type of fireworks sold or transferred. No person shall sell or deliver fireworks to any permittee in any amount in excess of the amount specified in the permit, less the amount shown on the permit previously to have been purchased.
(d) Any license issued pursuant to this chapter shall be prominently displayed in public view at each licensed location. [L 1994, c 180, pt of §1]
