Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.

Licensed salons gain more alcohol service options

Beginning May 19, 2026, Tennessee businesses with a restricted retail business license can serve alcohol to any lawful patron. Patrons do not need to be receiving barbering or cosmetology services when served. Alcohol service counts as a secondary use of the business. It requires no separate business classification, occupancy designation, or physical separation within the premises. All other legal requirements still apply.

Alcohol commission fees can cover more costs

Beginning May 19, 2026, the Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission can set fees to cover a broader range of costs. These include carrying out this part of the law, installing or updating technology and software, and other costs it finds necessary. Fees must be set through rules under the Uniform Administrative Procedures Act. The law does not set a new fee amount or require an increase.

Alcohol law names courses, not driving ranges

Beginning May 19, 2026, Tennessee's alcohol law replaces a reference to “golf driving ranges” with “golf courses.” The supplied text does not establish any resulting change in fees, licenses, or alcohol service.
