ASSEMBLY STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE

STATEMENT TO

ASSEMBLY, No. 4193

with committee amendments

STATE OF NEW JERSEY

DATED:  JUNE 9, 2022

      The Assembly State and Local Government Committee reports favorably Assembly Bill No. 4193, with committee amendments.

      As amended, this bill adjusts the municipal ballot question for allowing games of amusement within a municipality to match the current title of the law as amended in P.L.1981, c.291. 

      The bill would only apply to future ballot questions and would not change the law of any municipality that had already adopted the “Amusement Games Licensing Law.”

COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS:

      The committee adopted amendments to remove references to the defunct office of the Amusement Games Control Commissioner with the current Legalized Games of Chance Control Commission.  The amendments also repeal the section of law creating the office of the Amusement Games Control Commissioner.
