Clip: 5/11/2022 | 3m 49sVideo has Closed Captions
NJ is one of the most restrictive states when it comes to handing out liquor licenses
Some business owners are urging state leaders to reform New Jersey’s liquor laws, which haven’t been updated since they were enacted at the end of Prohibition. The number of available licenses is tied to a town’s population -- just one for every 3,000 residents. That cap and the high cost of purchasing a license have made the market extremely competitive.
