Senate Bill 320, sponsored by Massey, amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 57-4-102, specifically regarding the consumption of alcoholic beverages on certain premises. The bill modifies the existing legal language by deleting the current subdivision (iv) and replacing it with a new provision that stipulates the facility must be located in a municipality or county with a population exceeding 350,000, based on the 2020 federal census or any subsequent federal census.
This change aims to clarify the population requirement for facilities that are permitted to allow the consumption of alcoholic beverages on their premises. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of public welfare in its enactment.
Statutes affected: Introduced: 57-4-102(37)(A)(iv), 57-4-102
