John Moyant, Jr., Plaintiff-Respondent v. Borough of Paramus, a Municipal Corporation of the State of New Jersey…

Summary

The New Jersey Supreme Court affirmed the lower court's judgment, striking down the $25 license fee, the $1,000 bond, and the medical‑certificate requirement of Paramus's solicitor ordinance as unconstitutional burdens on interstate commerce and as unreasonable exercises of police power, while holding that the municipality has statutory authority to regulate solicitors and that the delegation of licensing discretion to the police chief contains sufficient standards.
