The bill amends R.S.33:1-10 to permit the production and sale of specific religious wines on the premises of religious institutions. It introduces a "limited religious wine license" that allows holders to manufacture up to 5,000 gallons of wine certified as kosher, Kosher for Passover, or sacramental wine, which can be sold and distributed for off-site consumption at religious institutions. The licensing fee for this new category is set at $250. Additionally, the bill defines "religious institution" as a not-for-profit organization registered under section 501(c)(3) of the federal Internal Revenue Code and clarifies that "sacramental wine" is exclusively for religious purposes.

Furthermore, the bill outlines the licensing structure for various types of wineries and breweries, detailing associated fees and operational conditions. License holders can sell their products at retail on their premises, offer samples, and distribute to wholesalers, with certain production and distribution restrictions. This legislative change aims to enhance the availability of wine for religious ceremonies, thereby supporting the needs of religious communities while maintaining the existing regulatory framework for other alcoholic beverages. The act is set to take effect on the first day of the fourth month following its enactment.
