House Bill 942 amends various sections of the Tennessee Code Annotated related to retail package stores. Specifically, 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 locations where package stores can operate, now including both urban and general services districts of a metropolitan government, as well as civil districts of a county. These changes aim to clarify and expand the regulatory framework for retail liquor sales in Tennessee, enhancing the ability of local governments to manage liquor sales within their jurisdictions. The act will take effect upon becoming law.
