Ordinance amending Crossville Municipal Code Section 8-307 regarding hours and days of operation for retail liquor stores

 

Body

SUMMARY: Governor Haslam signed legislation to allow for the sale of liquor seven days a week, excluding Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Easter.  Currently, the Crossville Municipal Code prohibits the sale of liquor on Sunday and Christmas, Thanksgiving, New Years Day, Labor Day, and July 4.  A summary of the new law’s provisions is attached.  Since it is a state law, the City’s local option to regulate the days and hours are preempted.
