Roman Check Cashing Inc. v. New Jersey Department of Banking & Insurance
New Jersey Superior Court Appellate Division
Decided August 6, 1999PublishedCited by 2 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
The opinion of the court was delivered by
LESEMANN, J.S.C. (temporarily assigned).
Plaintiff Roman Check Cashing, Inc., (Roman) challenges the constitutionality of N.J.S.A. 17:15A-41e, which provides that no licensed check cashing office may be located within 2,500 feet of another such office. N.J.S.A. 17:15A-41e is part of the New Jersey Check Cashers Regulatory Act of 1993, N.J.S.A. 17:15A-30 *61to 52 (the Act). Because we are unable to perceive any rational connection between that limitation and any legitimate purpose underlying the statute, we conclude that the restriction is unconstitutional.
