S 3555 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires DOH to establish Statewide standardized requirements for licensure and operations of mobile food vendors; designated as "Streamlined Food Truck Licensure Act."

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Health (DOH) to create uniform statewide rules for licensing and operating mobile food vendors (like food trucks). A single license issued under these rules would be valid across all counties and municipalities, eliminating the need for vendors to obtain separate local permits. Local governments may still set location and operating hour restrictions, but these must align with the statewide DOH rules. The bill directly affects mobile food vendors seeking to operate in multiple jurisdictions without navigating inconsistent local requirements.
