Judges revive lawsuit against Seaside Heights law aimed at after-prom parties

A New Jersey court has revived a lawsuit challenging a Seaside Heights ordinance that bars young people from renting hotel rooms during prom season, a move that motel owners argue unfairly targets their business. The owners claim this restriction is illegal and harms their revenue. This decision is significant because it could set a precedent for how municipalities regulate events like proms and the economic impact on local businesses. The outcome could influence similar ordinances across other towns and states.
