Alcoholic Beverages - As introduced, authorizes the issuance of a retail package store license to an operator within the general services district of a metropolitan government that has approved the retail sale of liquor for off-premises consumption by local option election. - Amends TCA Title 7 and Title 57.
HB 2287 amends Tennessee law to allow metropolitan governments to issue retail liquor package store licenses in their general services districts after a local option election approves off-premises liquor sales. Previously, such licenses were restricted to urban services districts only. The bill updates three sections of state code (TCA 7-3-303, 57-3-106, and 57-3-205) to remove this restriction and clarify that package stores may operate in general services districts if approved by local vote. This directly affects metropolitan governments and potential liquor store operators within those areas.
