1. The state fire marshal shall issue commercial licenses for the
manufacture, importation, distribution, sale, and commercial use of
explosives to persons who, in the state fire marshal's discretion
are of good character and sound judgment, and have sufficient
knowledge of the use, handling, and storage of explosive materials to
protect the public safety. Licenses shall be issued for a period of
one year, but may be issued for shorter periods, and may be revoked
or suspended by the state fire marshal for any of the following
reasons:
a. Falsification of information submitted in the application
for a license.
b. Proof that the licensee has violated any provisions of
this chapter or any rules prescribed by the state fire marshal
pursuant to the provisions of this chapter.
2. Licenses shall be issued by the state fire marshal upon
payment of a fee of sixty dollars, valid for a period of one calendar
year, commencing on January 1 and terminating on December 31;
however, an initial license may be issued during any calendar year
for the number of months remaining in such calendar year, computed to
the first day of the month when the application for the license is
approved. The license fee shall be charged on a pro rata basis for
the number of months remaining in the year of issue. Applications
for renewal of licenses shall be submitted within thirty days prior
to the license expiration date and shall be accompanied by payment of
the prescribed annual fee.
3. Except as permitted in section 101A.3 and sections 101A.9 to
101A.11, it shall be unlawful for any person to willfully
manufacture, import, store, detonate, sell, or otherwise transfer any
explosive materials unless such person is the holder of a valid
license issued pursuant to this section.
4. Commercial dealers having a federal firearms license shall be
exempt from the requirement or the commercial license requirement of
this chapter for importation, distribution, sale, transportation,
storage and possession of smokeless powder propellants or black
sporting powder propellants provided that such dealer must conform
and comply to rules, or ordinances of federal, state or city
authorities having jurisdiction of such powder. Section History: Early Form
