Relating to the required age for a license or permit relating to the conduct of a public fireworks display.

HB 1899 lowers the minimum age requirement for obtaining licenses and permits to conduct public fireworks displays in Texas. It amends the Occupations Code to reduce the age from 21 to 18 years for both pyrotechnic operator licenses (Section 2154.101) and public fireworks display permits (Section 2154.201). This change directly affects individuals under 21 who previously could not legally operate such displays. The bill took effect September 1, 2025, after being signed into law by the Governor on May 28, 2025.
