New Jersey A3256 mandates restaurants to clearly disclose any mandatory gratuity charges to patrons.

New Jersey A3256 requires restaurants to prominently display mandatory gratuity charges in multiple locations: on the menu, at the entrance, on the patron's bill, and on the restaurant's website if applicable. The bill supplements the consumer fraud act but does not apply its penalties. Violators face civil penalties of $1,000 for the first offense, $2,500 for the second, and $5,000 for each subsequent offense. Each day of violation counts as a separate offense, though a person cannot be charged more than one violation per day.
