A 473 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Authorizes municipalities to adopt ordinances concerning consumption of alcoholic beverages by pedicab passengers.

This bill allows New Jersey municipalities to create local rules about whether pedicab passengers can consume alcohol. It amends existing law to give local governments the authority to permit or prohibit such consumption through their own ordinances, subject to specific conditions. Key conditions include requiring passengers to be 21+, restricting alcohol to single-serving sealed containers (like beer, wine, or hard seltzer), and ensuring pedicabs have adequate waste receptacles. The bill directly affects municipalities (which can now set these rules), pedicab operators (who must follow local ordinances), and passengers (who can only consume alcohol under permitted conditions). It does not change current requirements for pedicab operation, such as seatbelts or insurance.
