Allows certain alcoholic beverage retail licenses to be transferred with annexed municipal land.
This bill (A5108) allows liquor licenses for bars and restaurants (plenary retail consumption licenses) to automatically transfer to the municipality that annexes the land where the business is located. It directly affects municipalities annexing land and license holders operating on that land. The key mechanism requires the annexing municipality to take over the license, while the annexed municipality can issue a new license at public sale to replace it. The bill also removes the usual population-based limit (one license per 3,000 residents) for these transferred or replacement licenses. This change simplifies license continuity during municipal boundary changes.
