HB 1269 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Alcoholic Beverage Commission - As introduced, restricts the prohibition on holding an interest in or being employed by a distillery, wholesale dealer, or retail dealer, or holding an alcoholic beverage license in this state, only to family members of voting members of the commission. - Amends TCA Title 57, Chapter 1.

HB 1269 amends Tennessee law to restrict the prohibition on family members of commission voting members holding alcohol business interests or licenses. The bill specifically bars spouses, children, parents, nieces/nephews (by blood or marriage), and in-laws from working at distilleries, wholesale/retail alcohol dealers, or holding alcohol licenses in the state. This replaces a broader prior restriction with a defined list of affected relatives. The change directly impacts family members of current voting members of Tennessee's Alcoholic Beverage Commission who might seek such roles or licenses. The bill takes effect upon becoming law.
