Bill Summary

As enacted, removes the prohibition that a person 16 or 17 years of age may not be employed in any place where the average monthly gross receipts from the sale of intoxicating beverages exceeds 25 percent of the total gross receipts of the place of employment if the person is not permitted to take orders for or serve intoxicating beverages. - Amends TCA Title 50 and Title 57.

AI Summary

This bill amends Tennessee's employment laws to remove the prohibition on 16- and 17-year-olds being employed in places where over 25% of the gross receipts come from the sale of intoxicating beverages, as long as the minor is not permitted to take orders for or serve those beverages. It also adds an exemption from the requirement to obtain a server permit for such minors. The bill aims to expand employment opportunities for 16- and 17-year-olds while maintaining restrictions for younger minors to protect them from working in establishments with significant alcohol sales.
