Old drug charges in Pa

[shizmansv]

I have drug charges from 2007. I am currently a culinary manager looking to relocate to nj but there is supposedly a law prohibiting felons from working in restaurants that sell beer wine and liquor. Is there anyway to circumvent this law?

What do you mean you have charges? Do you mean you are a convicted felon?

The NJ law prohibits you from such employment as a felon UNLESS the disqualification has been removed with a "Rehabilitation Employment Permit."
Information on how to do that is here: http://www.nj.gov/oag/abc/downloads/rehab-disqual_application_packet_10-09-07-final.pdf

Yeah, relocate to a different state.

Thank you for that link. My question now is how long is that process

Thank you for that link. My question now is how long is that process

When you submit your application, you will be investigated. However long that takes is however long it takes. From the link FlyingRon provided, it states: "The time frame will vary depending on the complexity of each individual case."

You can request a temporary work letter, if you include an employment verification letter with your application.

If you have any questions that were not addressed in the link, you can call the New Jersey Division of Alcohol Beverage Control at 606-984-1520.
