Removes plenary retail distribution license limit for certain stores.

Summary

The legislation rewrites New Jersey’s rules on plenary retail distribution licenses for alcoholic beverages. It permits owners of stores where groceries make up at least 65% of sales, or where alcohol sales are at least 90%, to acquire additional licenses beyond the existing cap, and it gives a special exemption for stores located in urban food deserts. The change is meant to give these retailers more flexibility while still tying licenses to the store’s main business.
