Tennessee 2025-2026 Regular Session

• Introduced: 2/6/25

Caption

AN ACT to amend Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 68, Chapter 104, relative to fireworks.

Summary

SB1334 makes a narrow change to Tennessee’s fireworks law by extending a statutory deadline from 10 days to 14 days in Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 68-104-115(b)(2). The bill does not create a new regulatory scheme or change the underlying fireworks rules; it only lengthens the time period for a required action under the existing statute. The measure is set to take effect on July 1, 2025. Because the bill amends a specific deadline in Title 68, Chapter 104, its practical effect is limited to the parties and processes governed by that fireworks provision, likely affecting compliance timing for regulated entities, local officials, or other persons subject to the statute.

Impact

SB1334 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 68, Chapter 104, by changing a deadline in Section 68-104-115(b)(2) from 10 days to 14 days. The bill’s legal impact is limited and procedural: it gives affected parties four additional days to complete the action required by that subsection, while leaving the rest of Tennessee’s fireworks regulatory framework unchanged.

Sentiment

No committee transcripts or recorded votes were provided, so there is no direct evidence of debate, support, or opposition in the available record. Based on the text alone, the bill appears to be a technical, noncontroversial adjustment to an existing deadline rather than a substantive policy change.

Contention

No specific points of contention are documented in the available materials. If any concerns were raised, they are not reflected in the provided transcripts or voting history. The only potentially debatable issue apparent from the text is whether the deadline extension from 10 to 14 days is necessary or sufficient for compliance, but no stakeholder positions are available.
