STATEMENT TO

SENATE, No. 2759

with committee amendments

STATE OF NEW JERSEY

DATED:  JUNE 13, 2022

      The Senate State Government, Wagering, Tourism and Historic Preservation Committee reports favorably and with committee amendments Senate Bill No. 2759.

     As amended by the committee, this bill adjusts the municipal ballot question for allowing amusement games 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 amendments remove references to the defunct office of the Amusement Games Control Commissioner, replacing them 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.
