Relating to the required age for a license or permit relating to the conduct of a public fireworks display.
SB 2184 lowers the minimum age requirement for obtaining a license or permit to conduct public fireworks displays from 21 to 18 years old. It directly affects individuals aged 16-17 who previously could not legally operate such displays under Texas law. The bill amends two sections of the Occupations Code (2154.101 and 2154.201) to update the age restrictions for both pyrotechnic operator licenses and public fireworks display permits. The change would take effect on September 1, 2025, if passed.
