HB 2223 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Fireworks - As enacted, requires a person who offers sparkling devices for sale and who does not hold a fireworks permit to register each location at which the person offers such devices for sale with the state fire marshal; makes other related changes. - Amends TCA Title 68.

HB 2223 changes Tennessee's fireworks permit deadline from 10 calendar days to 10 business days for public displays. It directly affects individuals or organizations applying for permits to host public fireworks events. The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 68, Section 68-104-211(a)(3), to require written applications to be submitted 10 business days before a display, rather than 10 calendar days. This adjustment shortens the required lead time for permit applications. The change applies specifically to written permit applications for public fireworks displays.
