New Jersey S2853 allows municipalities to reduce the population limit for issuing certain alcoholic beverage retail consumption licenses.
New Jersey S2853 amends existing law to allow municipalities to adopt an ordinance that reduces the population limit necessary to issue additional plenary retail consumption licenses. Currently, such licenses, which authorize the sale of alcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises, are limited based on the municipality's population. The bill enables municipalities to decrease the population limit over five years, from one license per 3,000 residents to one per 2,000 residents. This change aims to address the shortage of these licenses in some municipalities.
