ASSEMBLY COMMERCE AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
                COMMITTEE

                          STATEMENT TO

                      ASSEMBLY, No. 853

       STATE OF NEW JERSEY
                         DATED: JANUARY 27, 2020

          The Assembly Commerce and Economic Development Committee
      reports favorably Assembly Bill No. 853.
          This bill would prohibit municipalities from requiring a child to
      obtain a license or permit in order to operate a business temporarily.
      This bill is based upon a law enacted in Utah. News accounts out of
      Texas, Utah, and New York State reported incidents of government
      officials shutting down child-run lemonade stands for failing to secure
      licenses or permits. A similar problem, a municipality penalizing
      teenagers for soliciting work shoveling snow because they did not
      have a permit, led to the enactment of P.L.2015, c.240, a New Jersey
      law which prohibits municipalities from regulating the solicitation of
      snow shoveling services. This bill proposes a more broad approach to
      this general issue by allowing anyone under the age of 18 to
      occasionally operate a business without having first secured a local
      permit or license.
          This bill was pre-filed for introduction in the 2020-2021 session
      pending technical review. As reported, the bill includes the changes
      required by technical review, which has been performed.
