Bill Summary

This bill concerns certain sales of alcoholic beverages at farm markets. Currently, the provisions of section 9 of P.L.2021, c.15, applies to seasonal markets. This bill amends the current law in order for the law's provisions to apply to all farm markets, regardless of a farm markets seasonal status. Additionally, the bill requires that a licensee or the licensee's employee in a farm market would be responsible for checking valid forms of identification to properly verify that consumers are of legal age to sample, consume, or purchase the licensee's products at a farm market.

AI Summary

This bill expands the ability for certain licensed alcohol producers, such as breweries, distilleries, and wineries, to sell their products at farm markets. Previously, the law only applied to "seasonal farm markets," which were defined as markets that closed for at least 90 days annually. This bill removes that seasonal requirement, meaning the provisions will now apply to all farm markets, regardless of whether they operate year-round. Additionally, the bill clarifies that a licensed seller or their employee at a farm market is responsible for checking valid identification to ensure consumers are of legal age to sample, consume, or purchase alcoholic beverages.
