Legislation Extending Permission for Outdoor Dining Signed into Law

On August 3rd, Governor Phil Murphy signed S-2364, a bill supported by NFIB in New Jersey, into law. It extends expanded permission for restaurants, bars, distilleries, and breweries to use fixtures and equipment enabling them to serve patrons outdoors in private areas, on sidewalks, and in other municipally-designated outdoor areas. The permissions were set to expire November 30, 2022 but will now be extended by two additional years to support the food and beverage industry, patrons, and local communities by facilitating opportunities to serve customers outdoors.
