The bill amends Section 2154.202(g) of the Occupations Code regarding the sale of fireworks by retail fireworks permit holders in certain counties. It allows these permit holders to sell fireworks during specific periods: from June 24 to July 4, December 20 to January 1, and from May 1 to May 5, provided that the sales occur at a location no more than 150 miles from the Texas-Mexico border and in a county where the commissioners court has approved such sales. The previous limit was set at 100 miles.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that it will take effect immediately if it receives a two-thirds vote from all elected members in both houses; otherwise, it will take effect on September 1, 2025.
