5-17-17 Compliance Checks

The five stores that sold to the underage buyer are set to appear in front of the Chattanooga Police Regulatry Bureau/Beer Board/Hamilton County Coalition on June 1, 2017.

The Tennessee Code Annotated (TCA) 57-5-301 states sales to minors or intoxicated people are prohibited. Any penalties imposed upon businesses that violate this law are determined by the local beer board. "The goal of the Chattanooga Police Regulatory Bureau/Beer Board/Hamilton County Coalition is to ensure compliance with established board regulations and state laws, said Lt. Austin Garrett. The Board is not successful with anything less than 100% compliance."
