Restaurant Re-openings: A Local & State Government Perspective

Restaurants across the state were prohibited from serving patrons on-premises when COVID-19 hit, with carryout, curbside and delivery services being the only options. Now, as Regions of the State enter Phase 2, outdoor dining is permitted under strict guidelines. This program will provide guidance on restaurant reopening from a local and state government and municipal law perspective.

Speakers will provide an overview of recent developments relative to restaurant re-openings and outdoor seating – everything from changes in permitting on a local level to State Liquor Authority license provisions and explore practice tips and potential pitfalls to avoid.
