Senate Bill 320 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 57-4-102, specifically regarding the consumption of alcoholic beverages on certain premises. The bill modifies the population requirement for facilities that are permitted to allow alcohol consumption by changing the threshold from a lower figure to a new limit. The updated legal language specifies that the facility must be located in a municipality or county with a population exceeding three hundred fifty thousand (350,000) based on the 2020 federal census or any subsequent federal census.

This change aims to align the regulations governing alcohol consumption with population growth and urban development, potentially expanding the number of facilities eligible to serve alcoholic beverages in larger municipalities. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the urgency of the public welfare in this legislative action.
