The bill to change the Tennessee law that restricts wine sales reaches a critical juncture this week.
The Memphis Business Journal reports that Tennessee lawmakers in both House and Senate committees will hear a bill that will allow wine to be sold in supermarkets. The bill could hang on a single vote.
“It could fall either way at this point,” Republican Sen. Ken Yager of Harriman told The Tennessean newspaper.
Yager is the chairman of the Senate State and Local Government Committee, which meets today to hear from both sides of the bill. The nine-member panel is scheduled to vote Tuesday.
