(CNN) Sidewalk "speakeasies" are a thing of the past for Texas children.

Gov. Greg Abbott signed a law Monday that prohibits police from shutting down children's lemonade stands.

In a video posted to Twitter, Abbott signed what he called a "common-sense law" with a celebratory tall glass of lemonade, saying, "Cheers."

It's now legal for kids to sell lemonade at stands.



We had to pass a law because police shut down a kid's lemonade stand.

The bill was introduced by state Rep. Matt Krause, a Fort Worth Republican. His House Bill 234 legalized the occasional sale of lemonade and other nonalcoholic drink stands run by minors on private property.

Krause told a committee in May that the bill was inspired by a 2015 case in East Texas in which a children's lemonade stand was shut down . Sisters Andria and Zoey Green set up a traditional neighborhood stand to raise $100 to take their dad to Splash Kingdom for Father's Day.
