ASSEMBLY COMMERCE AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
                COMMITTEE

                          STATEMENT TO

   ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE SUBSTITUTE FOR
            ASSEMBLY, No. 5136

       STATE OF NEW JERSEY
                          DATED: JANUARY 13, 2021

          The Assembly Commerce and Economic Development Committee
      reports favorably an Assembly Committee Substitute for Assembly,
      No. 5136.
          This committee substitute concerns safety within food and
      beverage establishments during the coronavirus disease 2019
      pandemic. The substitute reproduces the section of Executive Order
      No. 183 of 2020, which concerns indoor dining at food or beverage
      establishments. The substitute reproduces the safety regulations of
      that executive order, including limiting the number of patrons in an
      establishment to 25 percent of its indoor capacity, ensuring that seating
      is separated by six feet from other seating, requiring patrons to wear
      facial coverings, only allowing patrons to order or consume food or
      drinks when they are seated, only allowing patrons to order at a
      counter if social distancing is in effect in the establishment, otherwise
      only allowing food or drink delivery by employees, and requiring the
      establishment to abide by other health and safety regulations.
          The substitute adds the option for seating to be separated by a
      physical barrier instead of being separated by a distance of six feet.
      This is intended to allow restaurants in physically smaller spaces to
      safely achieve their 25 percent of indoor capacity. The substitute
      specifically provides that its provisions do not supersede the existing
      fire code.
          The substitute would expire upon the later of: the date of
      expiration, termination, or rescission of any and all executive or
      administrative orders issued by the Governor or Commissioner of
      Health establishing coronavirus-related occupancy or customer seating
      restrictions applicable to licensed premises; or the first day of the
      seventh month following the date on which the Governor declares that
      the state of emergency has ended.
