Bill > SB2019

This bill revises laws related to alcoholic beverages in Tennessee by allowing the commission, which is the state agency responsible for regulating alcoholic beverages, to establish fees not only for the costs of implementing a specific part of the law and updating its technology but also for other costs it deems necessary, provided these fees are set according to the Uniform Administrative Procedures Act, a process for creating and enforcing state agency rules. Additionally, the bill expands the types of businesses that can serve alcohol by changing the term "golf driving ranges" to "golf courses" in relation to licensing, and it permits businesses with a "restricted retail business license" (a license for certain businesses to sell alcohol) to serve alcoholic beverages to any patron, even if they are not currently receiving barbering or cosmetology services, clarifying that this service is an accessory use and does not require a separate business classification or physical separation of the area.
