House Bill 942 amends various sections of the Tennessee Code Annotated related to retail package stores. Notably, it modifies Section 7-3-303(b) by changing the language to include both the urban services district and the general services district in certain provisions. Additionally, it introduces a new subsection to Section 57-3-106, allowing for the issuance of a retailer's license to qualified applicants for operating package stores in metropolitan governments that approve the retail sale of liquor through a local option election.

Furthermore, the bill amends Section 57-3-205(a) by expanding the areas where package stores can operate, now including urban or general services districts of a metropolitan government alongside civil districts of a county. These changes aim to clarify and expand the regulatory framework for retail liquor sales in Tennessee, particularly in metropolitan areas. The act is set to take effect upon becoming law.
