Relating to the periods during which a retail fireworks permit holder may sell fireworks to the public.
HB 3270 modifies Texas law to specify exact dates when retail fireworks permit holders may sell fireworks to the public. The bill establishes seven defined periods: February 25-March 2, April 16-21, May 1-5, the Wednesday before the last Monday in May through the last Monday in May, June 24-July 4, five days before Diwali through Diwali's last day, and December 20-January 1. It repeals a previous subsection (2154.202(h)) and takes effect September 1, 2025. This directly affects licensed retail sellers of fireworks across Texas, restricting sales to these legally designated windows.
