S 1209 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Authorizes temporary waiver from requirement that farm winery use NJ grown fruit.

This bill allows farm wineries in New Jersey to temporarily use fruit from outside the state for production, rather than requiring them to use only New Jersey-grown fruit. The legislation amends existing winery licensing laws to provide this waiver for a limited period. It directly affects winery operators who currently must source fruit locally but may face supply challenges or quality issues. The bill does not change other winery requirements or licensing fees, focusing solely on the fruit sourcing provision.
