Dedicates certain winery licensing fees for winery industry grant projects.
This bill (A5062) redirects $680,000 in annual winery licensing fees - collected from farm wineries, plenary wineries, wine blending licensees, and out-of-state wineries - into a dedicated "New Jersey Wine Promotion Account" for five years. The funds will be used by the Department of Agriculture to award grants through the New Jersey Wine Industry Advisory Council for projects focused on research, development, and promotion of the state’s wine industry. It directly affects winery license holders whose fees are redirected and supports the industry through targeted grant programs. The bill does not change existing licensing requirements but temporarily reallocates existing fee revenue to boost industry growth.
