Summary
Ordinance 2026-17 amends borough code to set prohibited Sunday retail alcohol sale hours from 2:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., with special-case language for January 1; the ordinance was adopted after a brief public hearing.
The Borough Council adopted Ordinance 2026-17 on June 29, 2026, changing the hours during which plenary retail consumption and distribution licensees are prohibited from selling alcoholic beverages on Sundays. The revised §103-17 establishes prohibited Sunday sales hours between 2:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m., with separate January 1 exceptions spelled out in the ordinance.
The ordinance cites N.J.S.A. 33:1-40 as the enabling statute that allows municipalities to limit hours for retail alcohol sales. The clerk read the ordinance by title and no members of the public spoke at the hearing. The minutes record the ordinance as "Adopted 6-29-26."
