S 4442 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires that warning notices regarding certain health risks of alcohol consumption be reviewed and updated.

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Health to update alcohol warning notices posted at licensed businesses (like bars and restaurants with Class C or club liquor licenses) every five years. The notices must include current medical information about health risks, specifically adding links between alcohol consumption and certain cancers, as well as updated prenatal risks like birth defects and Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. Businesses must display these notices prominently in service areas and restrooms. The requirement follows a decade-long gap in updates, with the first revision due within six months of the bill's effective date.
