Revises law concerning sexually oriented businesses.
This bill, if enacted, would regulate sexually oriented businesses in New Jersey by requiring them to maintain a 2,500-foot buffer zone from schools, churches, residential areas, hospitals, and child care centers. It also mandates a 50-foot physical barrier (like fencing or plants) around these businesses and limits exterior signage to two signs totaling no more than 40 square feet. The law would apply to new businesses and require municipalities to enforce these rules, with violations classified as a fourth-degree crime. Existing businesses operating before the law's effective date would not need to comply with the new buffer or signage rules.
