Bill > S4265

This bill makes various revisions to alcoholic beverage manufacturing and retailing license laws in New Jersey. Key provisions include: - Expanding the privileges and authorized activities for holders of craft manufacturer's licenses, such as allowing them to sell and serve tableside, offer food and non-alcoholic beverages, hold on-premises and off-premises special events, and participate in private parties and social affair events. - Allowing contiguous municipalities to transfer inactive plenary retail consumption licenses from a "sending" municipality to a "receiving" municipality as part of an economic redevelopment or revitalization plan. - Enabling eligible municipalities with shopping malls to issue a limited number of special licenses for food and beverage establishments within those malls, which are not subject to the population-based license limit. - Modifying the rules around inactive licenses, including establishing a timeline for transferring or using such licenses. The bill aims to support the craft beverage industry, facilitate economic redevelopment through license transfers, and provide additional licensing options for certain municipalities with shopping malls.
