Permits sale of certain alcoholic beverages at convenience stores.

S 2762 would allow convenience stores in New Jersey to sell alcoholic beverages by amending licensing rules to remove a current ban on such sales in mercantile businesses. The bill permits these stores to obtain a "plenary retail consumption license," enabling both on-premises consumption and off-premises sales of alcohol, subject to conditions like selling nonalcoholic beverages as an accessory. It also adjusts license fees (setting seasonal license fees at 75% of plenary rates) and adds one-day permits for temporary sales during off-seasons. This change directly affects convenience stores and the state's alcohol beverage industry.
