Alcoholic Beverages - As enacted, adds certain locations as premiere type tourist resorts; makes revisions to law relative to urban park centers. - Amends TCA Title 57.
This bill amends Tennessee laws regarding where alcoholic beverages can be sold by removing specific geographic restrictions that previously limited sales in certain counties. By deleting these exclusions, the legislation allows alcohol sales in a broader range of locations, including urban park centers and designated tourist resorts. The changes directly affect local businesses and communities by expanding the areas where they may legally sell alcohol. This update simplifies the rules by eliminating previous exceptions based on county classification.
