TN HB2272

Celebrities who endorse alcoholic beverage brands or on-premise establishments are shielded from liability for injuries, deaths, or damages caused by the actions of the endorsed business, provided they have no ownership interest or direct involvement in operations

Endorsement agreements and compensation do not constitute ownership interest in the brand or establishment, allowing celebrities to receive proceeds from alcohol sales without triggering ownership-related regulations

Eligible celebrities must be at least 21 years old, U.S. citizens, not hold public office, and have no alcohol-related convictions or felonies involving moral turpitude within the preceding 10 years

Celebrities receiving 5% or more of alcohol sale proceeds may be required to submit a questionnaire and government ID to the Alcoholic Beverage Commission; these documents are exempt from public records laws

Liability protection does not apply if the celebrity personally sold or supervised the alcohol sale, has ownership interest, or is directly involved in the business's operation or management
