H.B. No. 5084 amends the Occupations Code to allow retail fireworks permit holders to sell fireworks during an additional period specifically for the Lunar New Year holiday. The bill modifies Section 2154.202(g) by adding a new provision that permits the sale of fireworks beginning five days before Lunar New Year and ending at midnight on Lunar New Year, provided that the sale is approved by the commissioners court of the county. This new provision is in addition to existing sale periods, which include June 24 to July 4, December 20 to January 1, and May 1 to May 5 in certain locations near the Texas-Mexico border.

The bill also removes the phrase "and" from the list of existing sale periods, indicating a restructuring of the language for clarity. H.B. No. 5084 is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, following its passage in both the House and Senate in May 2025.
