TRENTON – A Senate Committee today advanced a bill to modernize New Jersey’s liquor laws by creating a craft distillery license, which would allow small-scale producers who currently are priced out of the industry by the state’s high liquor license fees to do business in the state. Sponsored by Senator Donald Norcross, Shirley K. Turner and Jim Whelan, the bill seeks to expand micro-distilleries in New Jersey as tourist destinations as well as job-creators.
“New Jersey’s current laws make it incredibly difficult for small-scale distillers to do business in the state. With several distillers prepared to open facilities, it’s well past time that we took steps to update our antiquated laws,” said Senator Norcross (D-Camden/Gloucester). “This will help to facilitate growth of the craft-distillery industry while supporting our agricultural community and creating new jobs.”

TRENTON – A measure sponsored by Senators Loretta Loretta Weinberg and Ellen Karcher that would require information about human papillomavirus (HPV) be distributed to pediatricians, parents and guardians of students in grades seven through twelve was unanimously approved today by the full Senate.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), HPV is the name of a group of viruses that includes more than 100 different strains or types. More than 30 of these viruses are sexually transmitted, and they can infect the genital area of men and women. The virus can cause the growth of abnormal cells in the cervix, which if left untreated, can become cancerous. HPV has been detected in over 90% of cervical cancer cases, Senator Weinberg said.

TRENTON – Senators Ellen Karcher and Loretta Weinberg have recently introduced a measure that would require insurers and State health care coverage programs to cover the cost of vaccines for the Human Papillomavirus (HPV), a sexually transmitted disease that can lead to cervical cancer.
Human Papillomavirus can cause abnormal cells on the lining of the cervix that, if left untreated, can turn into cancer. Other types of the virus can lead to genital warts.
