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, rather than just the urban services district. Additionally, it introduces a new subsection to Section 57-3-106, allowing for the issuance of a retailer's license for package stores in metropolitan governments that approve the retail sale of liquor through a local option election, explicitly including general services districts.

Furthermore, the bill amends Section 57-3-205(a) by expanding the locations where package stores can operate to include both urban and general services districts of a metropolitan government, as well as civil districts of a county. These changes aim to provide greater flexibility and accessibility for retail liquor sales within metropolitan jurisdictions in Tennessee. The act is set to take effect upon becoming law.
