Bill Summary

This bill waives the license fees for a brewery, winery, distillery, cidery, or meadery that was newly acquired, constructed, or began serving customers during the COVID-19 pandemic. The fees are codified by R.S.33:1-10 and vary based on the amount of alcoholic beverages that each licensee annually manufactures. This bill would take effect immediately and be retroactive to March 9, 2020, which is the date on which the Governor declared a state of emergency in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. License holders who had already paid their fee following March 9th would be entitled to receive a reimbursement for the cost of the fee.
