SB 2623 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

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.

SB 2623 amends Tennessee law to allow retail package stores in the general services district of a metropolitan government, provided the government has approved liquor sales for off-premises consumption through a local option election. The bill removes a previous restriction that excluded the general services district from where such licenses could be issued, explicitly permitting package stores there under the same conditions as urban services districts. This change applies only to metropolitan governments that have held a local option election approving liquor sales, without altering the election requirement itself. The law updates specific sections of Tennessee Code (Titles 7 and 57) to reflect this expanded licensing authority.
