The provisions of this subsection shall apply with the same force and effect with regard to casino license applicants and casino licensees which have a legal existence that is other than corporate to the extent which is appropriate. e. No person shall be issued or be the holder of a casino license if the issuance or the holding results in undue economic concentration in Atlantic City casino operations by that person. For the purpose of this subsection, "undue economic concentration" means that a person would have such actual or potential domination of the casino gaming market in Atlantic City as to substantially impede or suppress competition among casino licensees or adversely impact the economic stability of the casino industry in Atlantic City. In determining whether the issuance or holding of a casino license by a person will result in undue economic concentration, the commission shall consider the following criteria: (1) The percentage share of the market presently controlled by the person in each of the following categories: The total number of licensed casinos in this State; Total casino and casino simulcasting facility square footage; Number of guest rooms; Number of slot machines; Number of table games; Net revenue; Table game win; Slot machine win; Table game drop; Slot machine drop; and Number of persons employed by the casino hotel; (2) The estimated increase in the market shares in the categories in (1) above if the person is issued or permitted to hold the casino license; (3) The relative position of other persons who hold casino licenses, as evidenced by the market shares of each such person in the categories in (1) above; (4) The current and projected financial condition of the casino industry; (5) Current market conditions, including level of competition, consumer demand, market concentration, any consolidation trends in the industry and any other relevant characteristics of the market; (6) Whether the licensed casinos held or to be held by the person have separate organizational structures or other independent obligations; (7) The potential impact of licensure on the projected future growth and development of the casino industry and Atlantic City; (8) The barriers to entry into the casino industry, including the licensure requirements of this act, P.L.1977, c.110 (C.5:12-1 et seq.), and whether the issuance or holding of a casino license by the person will operate as a barrier to new companies and individuals desiring to enter the market; (9) Whether the issuance or holding of the license by the person will adversely impact on consumer interests, or whether such issuance or holding is likely to result in enhancing the quality and customer appeal of products and services offered by casino licensees in order to maintain or increase their respective market shares; (10) Whether a restriction on the issuance or holding of an additional license by the person is necessary in order to encourage and preserve competition and to prevent undue economic concentration in casino operations; and (11) Any other evidence deemed relevant by the commission. The commission shall, after conducting public hearings thereon, promulgate rules and regulations in accordance with the "Administrative Procedure Act," P.L.1968, c.410 (C.52:14B-1 et seq.) defining any additional criteria the commission will use in determining what constitutes undue economic concentration. For the purpose of this subsection a person shall be considered the holder of a casino license if such license is issued to such person or if such license is held by any holding, intermediary or subsidiary company thereof, or by any person required to be qualified in conjunction with such casino license.

Statement of compliance.
Status: in_force

81. Statement of compliance. a. (1) Upon consideration of a report and recommendation of the division, the commission may, in its discretion, issue a statement of compliance to an applicant for a casino license or to any person required to qualify in conjunction with a casino license or casino license applicant if the applicant or person, as the case may be, has established by clear and convincing evidence that one or more particular eligibility criteria have been satisfied. A request for the issuance of a statement of compliance pursuant to this paragraph shall be initiated by the applicant filing a petition with the division. Before the division initiates any investigation on such a petition, the director may require the applicant to establish to the satisfaction of the director that the applicant actually intends, if found qualified, to engage in the business or activity that would require the issuance of the license or the determination of qualification status. (2) Any person who must be qualified pursuant to the "Casino Control Act," P.L.1977, c.110 (C.5:12-1 et seq.) in order to hold the securities of a casino licensee or any holding or intermediary company of a casino licensee may, prior to the acquisition of any such securities, request the issuance of a statement of compliance by the commission that the person is qualified to hold such securities. Any request for the issuance of a statement of compliance pursuant to this paragraph shall be initiated by the person filing a petition with the division in which the person shall be required to establish that there is a reasonable likelihood that, if qualified, the person will obtain and hold the securities of a casino licensee or any holding or intermediary company thereof to such extent as to require the qualification of the person. If, after an investigation by the division, the director finds that this reasonable likelihood exists and that the qualifications of the person have been established by clear and convincing evidence, the director may, in the director's discretion, recommend to the commission that it issue a statement of compliance that the person is qualified to hold such securities. Any person who requests a statement of compliance pursuant to this paragraph shall be subject to the provisions of section 80 of P.L.1977, c.110 (C.5:12-80) and shall pay for the costs of all investigations and proceedings in relation to the request unless the person provides an agreement with one or more casino licensees which states that the licensee or licensees will pay those costs. (3) A statement of compliance shall not be issued indicating that an applicant or any other person required to qualify in conjunction with a casino license or casino license applicant that is a corporation or other form of business organization has established by clear and convincing evidence its good character, honesty and integrity unless the corporate officers; each director; each person who directly or indirectly holds any beneficial or ownership interest in the applicant of 5% or greater, to the extent such person would be required to qualify under section 85 of P.L.1977, c.110 (C.5:12-85); and any other person whom the division may consider appropriate for approval or qualification, would, but for residence, individually be qualified for approval as a casino key employee pursuant to the provisions of section 89 of P.L.1977, c.110 (C.5:12-89). b. Any statement of compliance issued under P.L.1977, c.110 (C.5:12-1 et seq.) shall specify: (1) the particular eligibility criterion satisfied by the applicant or person; (2) the date as of which such satisfaction was determined by the commission; (3) the continuing obligation of the applicant or person to file any information required by the division as part of any application for a license or qualification status, including information related to the eligibility criterion for which the statement of compliance was issued; and (4) the obligation of the applicant or person to reestablish its satisfaction of the eligibility criterion should there be a change in any material fact or circumstance that is relevant to the eligibility criterion for which the statement of compliance was issued. c. (Deleted by amendment, P.L.2011, c.19) d. Any statement of compliance issued pursuant to this section shall be withdrawn by the commission if: (1) the applicant or person otherwise fails to satisfy the standards for licensure or qualification; (2) the applicant or person fails to comply with any condition imposed; or (3) the commission finds, on recommendation of the division, cause to revoke the statement of compliance for any other reason. e. Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, unless otherwise extended by the commission upon application by the recipient and for good cause shown, any statement of compliance issued by the commission pursuant to this section shall expire 48 months after its date of issuance. f. (Deleted by amendment, P.L.2011, c.19) L.1977, c.110, s.81; amended 1978, c.7, s.14; 1991, c.182, s.21; 1995, c.18, s.22; 2002, c.65, s.13; 2011, c.19, s.45; 2012, c.34, s.4.

For the purposes of this section, "probable cause" means a valid public interest in the effective enforcement of the act or regulations sufficient to justify administrative inspection of the area, premises, building or conveyance in the circumstances specified in the application for the warrant. (2) A warrant shall issue only upon an affidavit of a person duly designated and having knowledge of the facts alleged, sworn to before the judge and establishing the grounds for issuing the warrant. If the judge is satisfied that grounds for the application exist or that there is probable cause to believe they exist, he shall issue a warrant identifying the area, premises, building, or conveyance to be inspected; the purpose of such inspection; and, where appropriate, the type of property to be inspected, if any.

Findings, declarations relative to fantasy sports.
Status: in_force

1. The Legislature finds and declares as the public policy of this State that: (1) Under the New Jersey Constitution, gambling activities may not be authorized without voter approval; (2) New Jersey courts define gambling as contests in which the elements of chance are considered to play a predominant role or affect a material impact upon the results of the contest; (3) Participation in fantasy sports activities cannot be considered gambling under New Jersey laws because fantasy sports activities are contests in which the relative skill of the participants predominates to a degree that chance plays no material role in determining the outcome of the activities; (4) Further, there is a longstanding and still growing national consensus that fantasy sports activities do not constitute gambling, as shown by the enactment of federal statutes; state laws in New York, Massachusetts, Kansas, Tennessee, and several other states; and current New Jersey regulations adopted by the Division of Gaming Enforcement finding that fantasy sports activities do not constitute gambling; and (5) Therefore, it is within the New Jersey Legislature's constitutional authority to authorize and regulate fantasy sports contests. The Legislature further finds and declares that: (6) Fantasy sports are popular and quickly expanding commercial activities for tens of thousands of New Jersey residents; (7) Investigation of the industry in other states has revealed instances of unethical behavior by some employees of fantasy sports operators, which is enabled by lack of adequate regulation and oversight; (8) It is in the State's interest to protect participants and promote a positive business environment in the conduct of fantasy sports activities; (9) Therefore, it is proper and fitting for the Legislature to regulate the fantasy sports industry and protect consumers of fantasy sports activities in New Jersey; and (10) Fantasy sports activities conducted in accordance with the provisions of P.L.2017, c.231 (C.5:20-1 et seq.) by an operator holding a permit to do so do not constitute: (a) an authorized game or authorized gambling game as defined in section 5 of P.L.1977, c.110 (C.5:12-5); (b) a contest of chance as defined in N.J.S.2C:37-1; (c) gambling as defined in N.J.S.2C:37-1; (d) a gambling transaction pursuant to N.J.S.2A:40-1; or (e) lottery as defined in N.J.S.2C:37-1.

Wagering and account information for a multi-state slot system shall be transmitted by the operator of such multi-state slot system to either a restricted area on the premises of a casino hotel or to a secure facility inaccessible to the public and specifically designed for that purpose off the premises of a casino hotel but within the territorial limits of Atlantic County, New Jersey, and from there to slot machines of New Jersey casino licensees, provided all locations are approved by the division. Notwithstanding any other provision of this act to the contrary, the division may authorize electronic versions of authorized games to be played within an approved hotel facility on mobile gaming devices to be approved by the division, provided the player has established an account with the casino licensee, the wager is placed by and the winnings are paid to the patron in person within the approved hotel facility, the mobile gaming device is inoperable outside the approved hotel facility, and the division authorizes the device for mobile gaming; provided that the division may establish any additional or more stringent licensing and other regulatory requirements necessary for the proper implementation and conduct of mobile gaming as authorized herein. For the purposes of this provision, the approved hotel facility shall include any area located within the property boundaries of the casino hotel facility, including the swimming pool area and an outdoor recreation area, where mobile gaming devices may be used by patrons in accordance with this provision, but excluding parking garages or parking areas of a casino hotel facility, provided that the division shall ascertain and ensure, pursuant to rules and regulations issued by it to implement mobile gaming pursuant to this provision, that mobile gaming shall not extend outside of the property boundaries of the casino hotel facility. c. Each casino hotel shall contain a count room and such other secure facilities as may be required by the division for the counting and storage of cash, coins, tokens, checks, plaques, gaming vouchers, coupons, and other devices or items of value used in wagering and approved by the division that are received in the conduct of gaming and for the inspection, counting and storage of dice, cards, chips and other representatives of value. The division shall promulgate regulations for the security of drop boxes and other devices in which the foregoing items are deposited at the gaming tables or in slot machines, and all areas wherein such boxes and devices are kept while in use, which regulations may include certain locking devices.

All chips used in gaming shall be of such size and uniform color by denomination as the division shall require by regulation. e. All gaming shall be conducted according to rules promulgated by the division. All wagers and pay-offs of winning wagers shall be made according to rules promulgated by the division, which shall establish such limitations as may be necessary to assure the vitality of casino operations and fair odds to patrons. Each slot machine shall have a minimum payout of 83%. f. Each casino licensee shall make available in printed form to any patron upon request the complete text of the rules of the division regarding games and the conduct of gaming, pay-offs of winning wagers, an approximation of the odds of winning for each wager, and such other advice to the player as the division shall require. Each casino licensee shall prominently post within a casino room and simulcasting facility, as appropriate, according to regulations of the division such information about gaming rules, pay-offs of winning wagers, the odds of winning for each wager, and such other advice to the player as the division shall require. g. Each gaming table shall be equipped with a sign indicating the permissible minimum and maximum wagers pertaining thereto. All gaming and wagering offered through Internet gaming shall display online the permissible minimum and maximum wagers pertaining thereto. It shall be unlawful for a casino licensee to require any wager to be greater than the stated minimum or less than the stated maximum; provided, however, that any wager actually made by a patron and not rejected by a casino licensee prior to the commencement of play shall be treated as a valid wager. h. (1) Except as herein provided, no slot machine shall be used to conduct gaming unless it is identical in all electrical, mechanical and other aspects to a model thereof which has been specifically tested and licensed for use by the division. The division shall also test any other gaming device, gaming equipment, gaming-related device, hardware and software by which authorized gambling games are offered through the Internet, or gross-revenue related device, such as a slot management system, electronic transfer credit system or gaming voucher system as it deems appropriate. In its discretion and for the purpose of expediting the approval process, the division may utilize the services of a private testing laboratory that has obtained a plenary license as a casino service industry enterprise pursuant to subsection a. of section 92 of P.L.1977, c.110 (C.5:12-92) to perform the testing, and may also utilize applicable data from any such private testing laboratory or from a governmental agency of a state other than New Jersey authorized to regulate slot machines and other gaming devices, gaming equipment, gaming-related devices and gross-revenue related devices used in casino gaming, if the private testing laboratory or governmental agency uses a testing methodology substantially similar to the methodology utilized by the division. The division, in its discretion, may rely upon the data provided by the private testing laboratory or governmental agency and adopt the conclusions of such private testing laboratory or governmental agency regarding any submitted device. (2) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (5) of subsection h. of this section, the division shall, within 60 days of its receipt of a complete application for the testing of a slot machine or other gaming equipment model, approve or reject the slot machine or other gaming equipment model. In so doing, the division shall specify whether and to what extent any data from a private testing laboratory or governmental agency of a state other than New Jersey was used in reaching its conclusions and recommendation. If the division is unable to complete the testing of a slot machine or other gaming equipment model within this 60-day period, the division may conditionally approve the slot machine or other gaming equipment model for test use by a casino licensee provided that the division represents that the use of the slot machine or other gaming equipment model will not have a direct and materially adverse impact on the integrity of gaming or the control of gross revenue. The division shall give priority to the testing of slot machines or other gaming equipment which a casino licensee has certified it will use in its casino in this State. (3) The division shall, by regulation, establish such technical standards for licensure of slot machines, including mechanical and electrical reliability, security against tampering, the comprehensibility of wagering, and noise and light levels, as it may deem necessary to protect the player from fraud or deception and to insure the integrity of gaming. The denominations of such machines shall be set by the licensee; the licensee shall simultaneously notify the division of the settings. (4) The division shall, by regulation, determine the permissible number and density of slot machines in a licensed casino so as to: (a) promote optimum security for casino operations; (b) avoid deception or frequent distraction to players at gaming tables; (c) promote the comfort of patrons; (d) create and maintain a gracious playing environment in the casino; and (e) encourage and preserve competition in casino operations by assuring that a variety of gaming opportunities is offered to the public. Any such regulation promulgated by the division which determines the permissible number and density of slot machines in a licensed casino shall provide that all casino floor space and all space within a casino licensee's casino simulcasting facility shall be included in any calculation of the permissible number and density of slot machines in a licensed casino. (5) Any new gaming equipment or simulcast wagering equipment that is submitted for testing to the division or to an independent testing laboratory licensed pursuant to subsection a. of section 92 of P.L.1977, c.110 (C.5:12-92) prior to or simultaneously with submission of such new equipment for testing in a jurisdiction other than New Jersey, may, consistent with regulations promulgated by the division, be deployed by a casino licensee on the casino floor 14 days after submission of such equipment for testing. If the casino or casino service industry enterprise licensee has not received approval for the equipment 14 days after submission for testing, any interested casino licensee may, consistent with division regulations, deploy the equipment on a field test basis, unless otherwise directed by the director. (6) A casino's primary equipment used to conduct Internet gaming shall be located, with the prior approval of the division, in a restricted area on the premises of the casino hotel or in another facility owned or leased by the casino licensee that is secure, inaccessible to the public, and specifically designed to house that equipment, and where the equipment shall be under the complete control of the casino licensee or its Internet gaming affiliate, within the territorial limits of Atlantic City, New Jersey. Backup equipment used on a temporary basis pursuant to rules established by the division to conduct Internet gaming may be located outside the territorial limits of Atlantic City, provided no Internet gaming shall occur unless a wager is accepted by a casino within the territorial limits of Atlantic City, New Jersey. All Internet wagers shall be deemed to be placed when received in Atlantic City by the licensee. Any intermediate routing of electronic data in connection with a wager shall not affect the fact that the wager is placed in Atlantic City. For the purposes of this section, a secure facility within Atlantic City that is owned or leased by the casino licensee to house Internet gaming equipment shall be considered to be part of the casino hotel facility notwithstanding that the facility may not be contiguous with the premises of the casino hotel. No software, computer or other gaming equipment shall be used to conduct Internet gaming unless it has been specifically tested by the division. The division may, in its discretion, and for the purpose of expediting the approval process, refer testing to any testing laboratory with a plenary license as a casino service industry enterprise pursuant to subsection a. of section 92 of P.L.1977, c.110 (C.5:12-92). The division shall give priority to the testing of software, computers or other gaming equipment which a casino licensee has certified it will use to conduct Internet gaming in this State. The division shall, by regulation, establish such technical standards for approval of software, computers and other gaming equipment used to conduct Internet gaming, including mechanical, electrical or program reliability, security against tampering, the comprehensibility of wagering, and noise and light levels, as it may deem necessary to protect the player from fraud or deception and to insure the integrity of gaming. When appropriate, the licensee shall set the denominations of Internet games and shall simultaneously notify the division of the settings. No software, computer or other gaming equipment shall be used to conduct Internet gaming unless it is able to verify that a player placing a wager is physically present in this State. The division shall require by regulation that the equipment used by every licensee to conduct Internet gaming is, in fact, verifying every player's physical presence in this State each time a player logs onto a new playing session. i. (Deleted by amendment, P.L.1991, c.182). j. (Deleted by amendment, P.L.1991, c.182). k. It shall be unlawful for any person to exchange or redeem chips for anything whatsoever, except for currency, negotiable personal checks, negotiable counter checks, other chips, coupons, slot vouchers or complimentary vouchers distributed by the casino licensee, or, if authorized by regulation of the division, a valid charge to a credit or debit card account. A casino licensee shall, upon the request of any person, redeem that licensee's gaming chips surrendered by that person in any amount over $100 with a check drawn upon the licensee's account at any banking institution in this State and made payable to that person. l. It shall be unlawful for any casino licensee or its agents or employees to employ, contract with, or use any shill or barker to induce any person to enter a casino or simulcasting facility or play at any game or for any purpose whatsoever. m. It shall be unlawful for a dealer in any authorized game in which cards are dealt to deal cards by hand or other than from a device specifically designed for that purpose, unless otherwise permitted by the rules of the division. n. (1) It shall be unlawful for any casino key employee licensee to wager in any casino or simulcasting facility in this State. (2) It shall be unlawful for any other employee of a casino licensee who, in the judgment of the division, is directly involved with the conduct of gaming operations, including but not limited to dealers, floor persons, box persons, security and surveillance employees, to wager in any casino or simulcasting facility in the casino hotel in which the employee is employed or in any other casino or simulcasting facility in this State which is owned or operated by an affiliated licensee. (3) The prohibition against wagering set forth in paragraphs (1) and (2) of this subsection shall continue for a period of 30 days commencing upon the date that the employee either leaves employment with a casino licensee or is terminated from employment with a casino licensee. o. (1) It shall be unlawful for any casino key employee or boxman, floorman, or any other casino employee who shall serve in a supervisory position to solicit or accept, and for any other casino employee to solicit, any tip or gratuity from any player or patron at the casino hotel or simulcasting facility where he is employed. (2) A dealer may accept tips or gratuities from a patron at the table at which such dealer is conducting play, subject to the provisions of this subsection. All such tips or gratuities shall be immediately deposited in a lockbox reserved for that purpose, unless the tip or gratuity is authorized by a patron utilizing an automated wagering system approved by the division. All tips or gratuities shall be accounted for, and placed in a pool for distribution pro rata among the dealers, with the distribution based upon the number of hours each dealer has worked, except that the division may, by regulation, permit a separate pool to be established for dealers in the game of poker, or may permit tips or gratuities to be retained by individual dealers in the game of poker. (3) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (1) of this subsection, a casino licensee may require that a percentage of the prize pool offered to participants pursuant to an authorized poker tournament be withheld for distribution to the tournament dealers as tips or gratuities as the division by regulation may approve. p. Any slot system operator that offers an annuity jackpot shall secure the payment of such jackpot by establishing an annuity jackpot guarantee in accordance with the requirements of P.L.1977, c.110 (C.5:12-1 et seq.), and the rules of the division.

Companies providing services to casino licensees regarding Internet gaming shall, notwithstanding any other provision of P.L.1977, c.110 (C.5:12-1 et seq.), be responsible for the full cost of their licensure, including any investigative costs. In the case of conducting an online sports pool, as that term is defined in section 1 of P.L.2018, c.33 (C.5:12A-10), a vendor that holds an existing casino service industry enterprise license shall, upon the approval of the division, expand on any initial license granted by the division prior to offering goods or services directly related to sports wagering or online sports wagering activities or operations. The approval shall be in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth by the division. (2) In addition to the requirements of paragraph (1) of this subsection, any casino service industry enterprise intending to manufacture, sell, distribute, test or repair slot machines within New Jersey, other than antique slot machines as defined in N.J.S.2C:37-7, shall be licensed in accordance with the provisions of this act prior to engaging in any such activities; provided, however, that upon a showing of good cause by a casino applicant or licensee, the director may permit an applicant for a casino service industry enterprise license to conduct business transactions with the casino applicant or licensee prior to the licensure of that casino service industry enterprise applicant under this subsection for such periods as the division may establish by regulation; and provided further, however, that upon a showing of good cause by an applicant required to be licensed as a casino service industry enterprise pursuant to this paragraph, the director may permit the casino service industry enterprise applicant to initiate the manufacture of slot machines or engage in the sale, distribution, testing or repair of slot machines with any person other than a casino applicant or licensee, its employees or agents, prior to the licensure of that casino service industry enterprise applicant under this subsection. (3) Vendors providing goods and services to casino licensees or applicants ancillary to gaming, including, without limitation, junket enterprises and junket representatives, and any person employed by a junket enterprise or junket representative in a managerial or supervisory position, non-casino applicants or licensees required to hold a casino hotel alcoholic beverage license pursuant to section 103 of P.L.1977, c.110 (C.5:12-103), lessors of casino property not required to hold a casino license pursuant to section 82 of P.L.1977, c.110 (C.5:12-82), and licensors of authorized games shall be required to be licensed as an ancillary casino service industry enterprise and shall comply with the standards set forth in paragraph (4) of subsection c. of this section. b.

No casino service industry enterprise license or ancillary casino service industry enterprise license shall be issued pursuant to subsection a. of this section to any person unless that person shall provide proof of valid business registration with the Division of Revenue in the Department of the Treasury. f.

For the purposes of this section, each applicant shall submit to the division the name, address, fingerprints and a written consent for a criminal history record background check to be performed, for each person required to qualify as part of the application. The division is hereby authorized to exchange fingerprint data with and receive criminal history record information from the State Bureau of Identification in the Division of State Police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation consistent with applicable State and federal laws, rules and regulations. The applicant shall bear the cost for the criminal history record background check, including all costs of administering and processing the check. The Division of State Police shall promptly notify the division in the event a current or prospective qualifier, who was the subject of a criminal history record background check pursuant to this section, is arrested for a crime or offense in this State after the date the background check was performed. h. (1) Subsequent to the licensure of any entity pursuant to subsection a. of this section, including any finding of qualification as may be required as a condition of licensure, or the registration of any vendor pursuant to subsection c. of this section, the director may revoke, suspend, limit, or otherwise restrict the license, registration or qualification status upon a finding that the licensee, registrant or qualifier is disqualified on the basis of the criteria set forth in section 86 of P.L.1977, c.110 (C.5:12-86). (2) A hearing prior to the suspension of any license, registration or qualification issued pursuant to this section shall be a limited proceeding at which the division shall have the affirmative obligation to demonstrate that there is a reasonable possibility that the licensee, registrant or qualifier is disqualified on the basis of the criteria set forth in section 86 of P.L.1977, c.110 (C.5:12-86).

Filing of application; hearing; advertisement; provisional permit; vote on question
Status: in_force

Any original application for a permit to hold or conduct a horse race meeting shall be filed with the commission prior to August 1 of any year. An application shall be deemed to be original when filed each time before any such permit has been finally granted to the applicant to hold or conduct a horse race meeting for the first year. Within 15 days after the filing of any such original application, the commission shall determine whether the same is in due form and meets the requirements of law in all respects; and upon being satisfied thereof, the commission shall forthwith appoint a time, not later than September 15 next, when a public hearing shall be held on such application within the county wherein it is proposed to conduct the race meeting for which the permit is sought, and shall cause a display advertisement, approximately 11 inches by 8 inches in size, to be published at least once in a daily newspaper, and at least once in a weekly newspaper, published, or circulated if none be published, in said county. Such advertisement shall be so published at least 15 days before the date of such public hearing, and shall contain sufficient information to apprise the public as to the purpose of such hearing, the time and place thereof, and the nature of the permit applied for. Such advertisement shall be prepared and placed by the commission but shall be paid for by the applicant. If, after such public hearing, the commission shall act favorably on such application, its determination shall be to the effect that a permit to hold or conduct a running race meeting or a harness race meeting, as the case may be, is provisionally granted pending approval thereof by the legal voters of the county and of the municipality in which it is proposed to hold or conduct such race meeting. Thereupon, but not less than 30 days before the next ensuing general election, the commission shall in writing certify to the county clerk of the county in which it is proposed to hold or conduct such horse race meeting that such permit has been so provisionally granted; and such county clerk shall cause to be printed, in the same manner as all other public questions to be submitted to the voters are by law required to be printed, upon each sample ballot and each official ballot to be used in such county at the next ensuing general election, the following question: "Shall (insert running race meetings or harness race meetings, as the case may be) be permitted in the county of (insert name of county)?" When duly voted upon, said public question shall be deemed to be approved only if a majority of the votes cast thereon by the legal voters of the county and also a majority of the votes cast thereon by the legal voters of the municipality in which it is proposed to hold or conduct such horse race meeting, shall have been cast in favor thereof; and in the event the majority of votes cast thereon in the county and also in the municipality shall have been cast in favor of said public question, the commission shall, at its next meeting to be held for the consideration of applications for dates for horse race meetings after the first year filed prior to October 15 proceed with the application upon which the permit was provisionally granted, in the manner provided by law for the allotment of racing dates for the ensuing year and for the subsequent granting or issuance of a permit to hold or conduct a horse race meeting as authorized by law. In the event a majority of the votes cast on said public question in the county or in the municipality shall have been cast against said public question, the commission shall in writing notify the applicant that the permit provisionally granted is canceled and thenceforth shall be of no effect, and no permit to conduct or hold any horse race meeting, of the nature designated in the public question so voted upon, in the same county shall be granted unless and until, after a new application filed and public hearing held after public notice and permit provisionally granted (following the procedure hereinabove specified), the same public question shall again have been submitted to the legal voters of the county, and a majority of the votes cast thereon in the county and also in the municipality in which it is proposed to hold or conduct such horse race meeting shall have been cast in favor thereof; provided, however, that the same public question shall not be submitted to the legal voters of the same county oftener than once in 5 years. The votes cast for or against said public question, whenever it shall appear upon the ballot at any general election, shall be counted and the result thereof returned by the election officials and a canvass of such election had and announced in the manner now provided by law; but the result in each municipality shall be separately tabulated in such return.
