To receive an exhibitor's license, an applicant shall:

1. Make application to the fire marshal on a form prescribed by the fire marshal. The application must be accompanied by the required fee. An individual seeking a license as a sole proprietor or on behalf of a business entity must be at least twenty-one (21) years of age and not have been convicted of or pleaded guilty or nolo contendere to a state or federal felony for the commission of an offense that bears directly on the applicant's fitness to practice competently, as determined by the fire marshal. In the case of a business entity seeking a license, no officer or member of its governing board may have been convicted of or pleaded guilty or nolo contendere to a state or federal felony for the commission of an offense that bears directly on the applicant's fitness to practice competently, as determined by the fire marshal; and
2. Submit evidence satisfactory to the fire marshal that the applicant has and will continue in force a general liability insurance policy, on an event, multiple event or continuous basis, to cover its potential liability for bodily injury and property damage in the minimum amount of one million dollars ($1,000,000) during all fireworks, pyrotechnic and flame effect displays for the use and benefit of any person who may be injured or aggrieved. The certificate of insurance or other evidence must be issued by an insurer authorized to do business in this state. If the insurance policy ceases to be in effect, the exhibitor's license becomes invalid. This subdivision (2) does not require employees or certified operators to maintain this insurance coverage.
