Tennessee § 57-3-103 - Construction of chapter.

§ 57-3-103. Construction of chapter.

Nothing in this chapter shall affect chapter 2 of this title. Alcoholic beverages lawfully manufactured pursuant to chapter 2 of this title may be lawfully sold in Tennessee by a manufacturer to a wholesaler duly licensed, in those counties or municipalities which favor local option after election duly held and carried as hereinafter provided for. Any manufacturer now operating pursuant to chapter 2 of this title may continue to do so without being affected in any way by this chapter, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. Except as specifically permitted in §§ 57-3-207, 57-3-402 and 57-3-403, no person may store any alcoholic beverages, unless the person holds a license under § 57-3-203, § 57-3-204, § 57-3-218 or § 57-4-101, or is employed by the licensee, unless the alcoholic beverage is intended for that person's personal or social use. It is the intent of the general assembly to be certain that any product containing or manufactured with distilled alcohol should be distributed only in those jurisdictions authorizing the sale of alcoholic beverages, and such distribution be subject to the rules and regulations of the commission. Acts 1939, ch. 49, § 2; C. Supp. 1950, § 6648.6 (Williams, § 6648.5); T.C.A. (orig. ed.), § 57-108; Acts 1983, ch. 229, § 5; 1986, ch. 516, §§ 2, 3; 2006, ch. 955, § 1; 2011, ch. 451, § 5; 2014, ch. 554, § 20. Code Commission Notes. Acts 2014, ch. 861, § 4 purported to amend subdivision (a)(1). Subdivision (a)(1) was previously rewritten by Acts 2014, ch. 554, § 20; therefore the amendment by Acts 2014, ch. 861, § 4 was not given effect by authority of the code commission.
