Requires holders of certain alcoholic beverage licenses to offer for sale beverage lids to customers.
S 602 requires bars and restaurants with specific alcohol licenses (plenary or seasonal retail consumption licenses) to sell beverage lids to customers at a cost no higher than wholesale. Licensees must also prominently display the sign: "Don’t get roofied! Drink lids available here. Ask a staff member for details." The law does not apply to existing penalties for violations and expires 30 months after enactment. This bill directly affects licensed alcohol establishments in New Jersey by mandating affordable lid availability to help prevent drink tampering.
