Legislation to legalize sparklers and some types of fireworks is one step closer to becoming law. The Arizona House approved the bill on Tuesday and sent it to the Senate.

The Arizona Daily Star reports that the industry backed bill would allow sparklers and fountain fireworks that shoot flames and sparks. It would not legalize firecrackers that explode or shoot into the air.

Supporters say these devices are safe and don’t need government regulation.

Two governors vetoed siminlar bills.in the 1990’s, citing safety concerns.
