A 4798 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes "Jersey Spirits Program" in Department in Agriculture.

This bill creates the "Jersey Spirits Program" within New Jersey's Department of Agriculture to promote locally produced distilled alcoholic beverages. The program requires the Department to increase consumer awareness of New Jersey distilleries, organize advertising campaigns, share information about available spirits, and distribute details about distilleries using locally grown ingredients. It also mandates a labeling system (similar to the existing "Jersey Fresh" program) to identify spirits made in New Jersey. The program directly affects distilleries that use ingredients grown within the state, aiming to boost their market visibility and sales.
