SB 2636 Tennessee Senate · 113th Regular Session (2023-2024)

DUI Offenses - As enacted, enacts the "Tennessee Prevention of Drunk Driving Act." - Amends TCA Title 38; Title 39; Title 55 and Title 57.

This law prohibits businesses with beer permits in Tennessee from selling cold or refrigerated beer at retail locations. The change applies to any store or vendor holding a specific beer license, effectively banning the sale of chilled beer regardless of other existing rules. By amending state alcohol codes, the bill ensures that only room-temperature beer can be sold under these permits. The legislation took effect immediately upon being signed into law by the Governor.
