AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee law to allow for the issuance of retail package store licenses, which are licenses to sell liquor for off-premises consumption, within the general services district of a metropolitan government, provided that the sale of liquor has been approved by a local option election within that metropolitan government's jurisdiction. Previously, such licenses were generally restricted to urban services districts, not general services districts, which are typically less densely populated areas within a metropolitan government. The bill also clarifies that these licenses can be issued within either the urban or general services district of a metropolitan government, or within a civil district of a county, ensuring consistency in how liquor sales are regulated across different types of local government structures.
