Establishes limited retail religious distribution license.
This bill creates a new "limited religious retail distribution license" specifically for food stores selling religiously certified alcoholic beverages. The license allows businesses like grocery stores or delicatessens to sell unchilled alcoholic beverages certified as kosher, kosher for Passover, or prepared under Orthodox Jewish or other religious requirements, but only in original containers for off-premises consumption. To qualify, the business must primarily sell food, maintain religious supervision (such as rabbinical oversight), and file a disclosure with the Division of Consumer Affairs. Municipalities would set the license fee between $31 and $63. This policy change creates a specific licensing pathway for religiously certified alcohol sales while requiring food sales to remain the primary business activity.
