A 1882 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires applicants for liquor licenses and license transfers to notify residents within 200 feet of licensed premises.

Bill A 1882 requires businesses applying for new liquor licenses or license transfers to notify residents living within 200 feet of the licensed premises by regular mail. This rule applies to new license applications and transfers but not to renewals, directly affecting nearby residents who receive the notice. The requirement is added to existing rules that already mandate publishing a notice in a local newspaper for two weeks. This change provides a direct communication channel for residents regarding proposed liquor license changes.
