Requires applicants for liquor licenses and license transfers to notify residents within 200 feet of licensed premises.
This bill requires applicants for liquor licenses and license transfers in New Jersey to notify residents living within 200 feet of the licensed premises by regular mail. Currently, applicants must publish a notice in a local newspaper for two weeks, but this bill adds a new mail notification requirement for nearby residents. The notification requirement applies to all liquor license applications and transfers except for transportation or public warehouse licenses. This change supplements existing newspaper publication requirements with direct mail notification to affected neighbors. The bill aims to provide local residents with direct notice of new or transferring liquor establishments near their homes.
