Relating to fireworks sales to the public by retail fireworks permit holders on certain dates.
HB 4491 limits retail fireworks sales to a single day: July 5, 2026, from 12:01 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. It directly affects licensed retail sellers of fireworks in Texas. The bill amends existing law to override previous sale date rules, restricting sales exclusively to that one day. The provision expires on September 1, 2026, meaning it applies only to that specific date window.
