Texas officially legalizes kids' lemonade stands
Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed a law this week preventing police from shutting down kids' lemonade stands in the state. Children will be officially allowed to sell lemonade without authorities requiring a permit or putting a halt to their business.
Abbot posted a video tweet Tuesday signing the bill, which authorizes the occasional sale of lemonade or other non-alcoholic drinks by minors on private property. He then toasted to youngsters with a glass of lemonade. The bill was introduced by Republican state Rep. Matt Krause.
"Here is a commonsense law it allows kids to sell lemonade at lemonade stands," Abbot said. "We had to pass it because police shut down a lemonade stand here in Texas. So kids, cheers."
