House Bill 1987 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 57, concerning the regulation of alcoholic beverages. The bill introduces a new subsection to Section 57-6-202, which stipulates that if a wholesaler or retailer has their license or permit revoked or suspended, it must be reinstated within five business days once they provide the necessary books, papers, and records for examination to the commissioner. Following the receipt of these documents, the commissioner is required to inform the alcoholic beverage commission.

This legislation aims to streamline the process for reinstating licenses or permits for wholesalers and retailers in the alcoholic beverage industry, ensuring a more efficient resolution to suspensions or revocations. The act is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of public welfare in its implementation.
