A 4101 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires retailers to lock up or place bath salts behind counter.

This bill requires retailers in New Jersey to store bath salts - defined as crystalline or flaked substances used to perfume or soften bathwater - in locked display cases or behind counters, accessible only to employees. It directly affects retailers selling bath salts, mandating physical restrictions to limit consumer access. First violations result in a written warning, while repeat violations could lead to fines up to $20,000 under consumer fraud laws. The sponsor states the goal is to prevent minors from misusing bath salts, though the bill itself focuses on retail display requirements.
