House Bill 2341 amends Tennessee Code Annotated regarding the regulation of alcoholic beverages at private events. The bill allows individuals to furnish, dispense, or give away alcoholic beverages and beer at private parties or events without needing a license or permit, as long as they do not serve anyone under the age of twenty-one. This change replaces the previous legal language in Section 57-4-101(o).
Additionally, the bill requires that the owner or operator of an event submit proof that they have taken reasonable steps to prevent serving alcohol to underage attendees when seeking approval for the event. This new requirement is added to Section 57-4-101(g)(2). The bill is set to take effect upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of public welfare in its implementation.
