Alcoholic Beverages - As enacted, authorizes Johnson City to set the hours that licensees within a downtown district designated by the municipality are authorized to sell or give away alcoholic beverages. - Amends TCA Title 57.
SB 1155 amends Tennessee law to extend the maximum duration for temporary alcohol license extensions from 30 days to 45 days under Title 57. This change applies to all Tennessee municipalities, including Johnson City, which can now authorize downtown district licensees to sell alcohol for up to 45 days instead of 30. The bill modifies Section 57-4-304(a) of the Tennessee Code to reflect this 15-day increase in the temporary license period. The law became effective April 11, 2025, after being signed by the Governor.
