The bill amends R.S.33:1-12 to update the classifications and regulations surrounding Class C licenses for the sale of alcoholic beverages in New Jersey. It maintains the existing structure of licenses, including plenary retail consumption, seasonal retail consumption, plenary retail distribution, limited retail distribution, plenary retail transit, club, and sporting facility licenses, while introducing new provisions and clarifications. Notably, the bill allows holders of plenary retail consumption licenses to conduct consumer tasting events and samplings, provided they comply with specific regulations. Additionally, it establishes a framework for seasonal retail consumption licenses, including the issuance of one-day permits for off-season sales, and outlines the fees associated with each license type.

The bill also introduces specific conditions for sporting facility licenses, allowing for the establishment of all-inclusive areas within licensed venues and the issuance of special permits for national or international sporting events. The fees for these licenses are tiered based on the capacity of the venue, with provisions for the director to impose conditions to ensure public safety. Overall, the amendments aim to modernize the licensing process and enhance the regulatory framework governing the sale of alcoholic beverages in various settings across the state.
