A 1135 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

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

This bill (A 1135) allows New Jersey municipalities to decide whether pedicab passengers may consume alcohol during rides. It amends existing law to let local governments adopt ordinances authorizing or prohibiting alcohol consumption, subject to specific conditions. Key requirements include: passengers must be 21+, only single-serving sealed containers of beer, wine, hard seltzer, or similar beverages are permitted, and pedicabs must have waste receptacles. The bill directly affects pedicab operators, municipalities, and riders in communities that choose to implement such ordinances. It does not mandate alcohol consumption but gives local governments discretion to regulate it.
