Vince Polistina, R-Atlantic, to permanently allow restaurants and alcoholic beverage retailers to use outdoor spaces and public sidewalks — as they did during the COVID-19 pandemic — passed the Senate Budget and Appropriations Committee on Monday. “In the years since COVID, businesses have benefitted immensely from the use of outdoor spaces and the public has come to appreciate those expanded options,” Polistina said in a statement.
“By making sure the temporary law becomes permanent, we can ensure that businesses continue to flourish.” The current temporary law that allows businesses to operate in these spaces expires Nov. 30.
S-3608 would allow owners and operators of restaurants, bars, distilleries or breweries to use outdoor spaces they own or lease and are adjacent to their business for selling food and beverages.
