SB 192 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Alcoholic Beverages - As enacted, requires a manufacturer's license for the manufacturing of alcoholic spiritous beverages or vintage alcoholic beverages issued to or renewed by a manufacturer to authorize the sale at retail a product for which a manufacturer owns the intellectual property rights and that the manufacturer received bottled as imported from Mexico; authorizes the manufacturer to serve certain samples of the product manufactured or distilled at the premises or imported and registered for distribution and sale in this state. - Amends TCA Title 57.

SB 192 amends Tennessee law to reduce the requirement for credible witnesses from two to one when law enforcement destroys illegal distilling equipment, such as stills or fermenting devices. This change directly affects law enforcement officers and the process for handling seized property related to illegal alcohol production. The key provision simplifies the procedure by eliminating the need for two witnesses during destruction, streamlining compliance with existing regulations. The amendment applies specifically to Tennessee Code Annotated Section 57-9-101(c), governing the disposal of such equipment.
