Bill > HB1803

This bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 57, Chapter 3, which governs the manufacturing of alcohol, by expanding the definition of "manufacture" to explicitly include the act of bottling distilled spirits. Previously, this specific activity might not have been clearly covered under the existing regulations for alcohol production. By adding "bottling of distilled spirits" to the definition of "manufacture" and similarly defining a "bottler of distilled spirits" as a "manufacturer," this legislation ensures that companies engaged in bottling alcoholic beverages are subject to the same licensing and regulatory requirements as other alcohol manufacturers, providing clearer oversight and control over this part of the alcohol industry.
