Bill > A5912

This bill makes various revisions to alcoholic beverage manufacturing and retailing license laws in New Jersey. Key provisions include: - Expanding the privileges and allowances for holders of "craft manufacturer's licenses" (limited breweries, cideries/meaderies, and craft distilleries) to sell and serve their products on-site, hold special events, and coordinate with food vendors. - Allowing municipalities to acquire inactive plenary retail consumption licenses from contiguous municipalities as part of economic redevelopment plans or in designated revitalization areas. - Authorizing eligible municipalities with shopping malls to issue a limited number of special licenses for food and beverage establishments within those malls, without being subject to the population-based license limitations. - Amending the law regarding the expiration and transfer of inactive plenary retail consumption licenses, including setting timelines for transitioning long-inactive licenses. The bill aims to provide more flexibility and opportunities for craft beverage producers and businesses in areas with limited license availability.
