Amends TCA Title 57.

ON APRIL 5, 2021, THE HOUSE ADOPTED AMENDMENT #1 AND PASSED HOUSE BILL 464, AS AMENDED. AMENDMENT #1 rewrites this bill to require disclosure of certain information concerning contracts with wholesalers of alcoholic beverages. Present law generally prohibits the introduction of a brand of alcoholic beverage into the state except pursuant to written contract to sell such brand in this state between the manufacturer, brewer or importer of such brand and the Tennessee wholesaler who is to sell such brand in this state. Every contract must contain the specified area where the wholesaler will sell such brand and no more than one wholesaler may sell such brand in any specified area. This amendment requires the department of revenue to: (1) Make available to the public the identity of the wholesalers and suppliers operating in this state, including their addresses, brands, and designated territories for which a contract has been registered with the department; and (2) When a manufacturer, supplier, importer, nonresident seller, or nonmanufacturer nonresident seller registers a contract with a wholesaler for a brand, provide notice by electronic means to the manufacturer, supplier, importer, nonresident seller, or nonmanufacturer nonresident seller, as applicable, and the contracted wholesaler.
