This bill amends existing legislation to exempt holders of plenary winery licenses from certain filing requirements related to user fees imposed on retail sellers of litter-generating products. Specifically, it establishes that a plenary winery licensee generating less than $500,000 in annual retail sales of such products is exempt from the requirement to file a return, which is typically mandated for those subject to the user fee. This aligns with the current exemption for retail sellers with less than $500,000 in annual sales, thereby simplifying compliance for smaller wineries.

The bill modifies Section 4 of P.L.2002, c.128 (C.13:1E-216) by deleting the percentage symbol from the user fee calculations and inserting specific language to clarify the exemption for plenary winery license holders. The changes aim to reduce the regulatory burden on small wineries while maintaining the overall structure of the user fee system for other retailers. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
