The authority shall not before the Transfer Date exercise any powers of the convention center authority. The authority and the convention center authority are directed to cooperate with each other so that the Transfer Date shall occur as soon as practicable after the date of enactment of P.L.2011, c.18 (C.5:12-218 et al.), and the convention center authority shall make available information concerning its property and assets, outstanding bonds and other debts, obligations, liabilities and contracts, operations, and finances as the authority may require to provide for the retirement of any outstanding bonds, notes, or other obligations of the convention center authority, and the efficient exercise by the authority of all powers, rights, and duties conferred upon them by P.L.2011, c.18 (C.5:12-218 et al.). b. On the Transfer Date: (1) The authority shall assume all of the powers, rights, assets, and duties of the convention center authority to the extent provided by P.L.2011, c.18 (C.5:12-218 et al.), and such powers shall then and thereafter be vested in and shall be exercised by the authority and the chair thereof provided, however, that the functions, organizational structure, and operations of the convention center authority shall be continued as a division existing within the authority, to be known as the Convention Center Division.

Nothing in P.L.2011, c.18 (C.5:12-218 et al.) shall be construed to deprive any officers or employees of the convention center authority of their rights, privileges, obligations, or status with respect to any pension or retirement system. The employees shall retain all of their rights and benefits under existing collective negotiation agreements or contracts until such time as new or revised agreements or contracts are agreed to. All existing employee representatives shall be retained to act on behalf of those employees until such time as the employees shall, pursuant to law, elect to change those representatives. Nothing in P.L.2011, c.18 (C.5:12-218 et al.) shall affect the civil service status, if any, of those officers or employees. (4) All debts, liabilities, obligations and contracts of the convention center authority, except to the extent specifically provided or established to the contrary in P.L.2011, c.18 (C.5:12-218 et al.), are imposed upon the authority, and all creditors of the convention center authority and persons having claims against or contracts with the convention center authority of any kind or character may enforce those debts, claims, and contracts against the authority as successor to the convention center authority in the same manner as they might have against the convention center authority, and the rights and remedies of those holders, creditors, and persons having claims against or contracts with the convention center authority shall not be limited or restricted in any manner by P.L.2011, c.18 (C.5:12-218 et al.).

(6) Any references to the convention center authority in any other law or regulation shall be deemed to refer and apply to the authority. (7) All rules and regulations of the convention center authority shall continue in effect as the rules and regulations of the authority until amended, supplemented or rescinded by the authority in accordance with law. Notwithstanding any requirements of the "Administrative Procedure Act," P.L.1968, c.410 (C.52:14B-1 et seq.) to the contrary, the authority may adopt regulations, after notice and an opportunity for public comment, amending, supplementing, modifying, or repealing the regulations of the convention center authority. Such regulations shall be effective immediately upon filing with the Office of Administrative Law and shall be effective for a period not to exceed 18 months from the Transfer Date and they may, thereafter, be amended, adopted or readopted in accordance with the "Administrative Procedure Act." Regulations of the convention center authority inconsistent with the provisions of this act or of regulations of the authority shall be deemed void if so judged by the authority acting pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph. (8) All operations of the convention center authority shall continue as operations of the authority until altered by the authority as may be permitted pursuant to P.L.2011, c.18 (C.5:12-218 et al.).

Such hearing shall be held and conducted in the manner provided in said laws. k. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, rule, or regulation to the contrary, if the authority shall enter into an agreement with a private entity to lease a racetrack facility it owns to that entity, it may further agree with that entity to jointly operate the facility during a transitionary period.

The New Jersey Racing Commission may extend the transitionary period for a reasonable time frame beyond one year from the date that the lease agreement is signed, however under no circumstances can the transitionary period extend beyond two years from the date that the lease agreement is signed. At the expiration of the transitionary period and any extension granted by the New Jersey Racing Commission, the private entity lessee shall be required to have obtained all the necessary permits and licenses in the manner and subject to compliance with the standards set forth in P.L.1940, c.17 (C.5:5-22 et seq.), and the rules, regulations, and conditions prescribed by the New Jersey Racing Commission thereunder.

N.J. Stat. § 5:12-1 — NJ Code / Title 5 / Chapter 12 / Section 12-1
Short title; declaration of policy and legislative findings.
Status: in_force

1. Short title; Declaration of Policy and Legislative Findings. a. This act shall be known and may be cited as the "Casino Control Act." b. The Legislature hereby finds and declares to be the public policy of this State, the following: (1) The tourist, resort and convention industry of this State constitutes a critical component of its economic structure and, if properly developed, controlled and fostered, is capable of providing a substantial contribution to the general welfare, health and prosperity of the State and its inhabitants. (2) By reason of its location, natural resources and worldwide prominence and reputation, the city of Atlantic City and its resort, tourist and convention industry represent a critically important and valuable asset in the continued viability and economic strength of the tourist, convention and resort industry of the State of New Jersey. (3) The rehabilitation and redevelopment of existing tourist and convention facilities in Atlantic City, and the fostering and encouragement of new construction and the replacement of lost convention, tourist, entertainment and cultural centers in Atlantic City will offer a unique opportunity for the inhabitants of the entire State to make maximum use of the natural resources available in Atlantic City for the expansion and encouragement of New Jersey's hospitality industry, and to that end, the restoration of Atlantic City as the Playground of the World and the major hospitality center of the Eastern United States is found to be a program of critical concern and importance to the inhabitants of the State of New Jersey. (4) Legalized casino gaming has been approved by the citizens of New Jersey as a unique tool of urban redevelopment for Atlantic City. In this regard, the introduction of a limited number of casino rooms in major hotel convention complexes, permitted as an additional element in the hospitality industry of Atlantic City, will facilitate the redevelopment of existing blighted areas and the refurbishing and expansion of existing hotel, convention, tourist, and entertainment facilities; encourage the replacement of lost hospitality-oriented facilities; provide for judicious use of open space for leisure time and recreational activities; and attract new investment capital to New Jersey in general and to Atlantic City in particular. (5) Restricting the issuance of casino licenses to major hotel and convention facilities is designed to assure that the existing nature and tone of the hospitality industry in New Jersey and in Atlantic City is preserved, and that the casino rooms licensed pursuant to the provisions of this act are always offered and maintained as an integral element of such hospitality facilities, rather than as the industry unto themselves that they have become in other jurisdictions. (6) An integral and essential element of the regulation and control of such casino facilities by the State rests in the public confidence and trust in the credibility and integrity of the regulatory process and of casino operations. To further such public confidence and trust, the regulatory provisions of this act are designed to extend strict State regulation to all persons, locations, practices and associations related to the operation of licensed casino enterprises and all related service industries as herein provided. In addition, licensure of a limited number of casino establishments, with the comprehensive law enforcement supervision attendant thereto, is further designed to contribute to the public confidence and trust in the efficacy and integrity of the regulatory process. (7) Legalized casino gaming in New Jersey can attain, maintain and retain integrity, public confidence and trust, and remain compatible with the general public interest only under such a system of control and regulation as insures, so far as practicable, the exclusion from participation therein of persons with known criminal records, habits or associations, and the exclusion or removal from any positions of authority or responsibility within casino gaming operations and establishments of any persons known to be so deficient in business probity, either generally or with specific reference to gaming, as to create or enhance the dangers of unsound, unfair or illegal practices, methods and activities in the conduct of gaming or the carrying on of the business and financial arrangements incident thereto. (8) Since the public has a vital interest in casino operations in Atlantic City and has established an exception to the general policy of the State concerning gaming for private gain, participation in casino operations as a licensee or registrant under this act shall be deemed a revocable privilege conditioned upon the proper and continued qualification of the individual licensee or registrant and upon the discharge of the affirmative responsibility of each such licensee or registrant to provide to the regulatory and investigatory authorities established by this act any assistance and information necessary to assure that the policies declared by this act are achieved. Consistent with this policy, it is the intent of this act to preclude the creation of any property right in any license, registration, certificate or reservation permitted by this act, the accrual of any value to the privilege of participation in gaming operations, or the transfer of any license, registration, certificate, or reservation, and to require that participation in gaming be solely conditioned upon the individual qualifications of the person seeking such privilege. (9) Since casino operations are especially sensitive and in need of public control and supervision, and since it is vital to the interests of the State to prevent entry, directly or indirectly, into such operations or the ancillary industries regulated by this act of persons who have pursued economic gains in an occupational manner or context which are in violation of the criminal or civil public policies of this State, the regulatory and investigatory powers and duties shall be exercised to the fullest extent consistent with law to avoid entry of such persons into the casino operations or the ancillary industries regulated by this act. (10) (Deleted by amendment, P.L.1995, c.18.) (11) The facilities in which licensed casinos are to be located are of vital law enforcement interest to the State, and it is in the public interest that the regulatory and investigatory powers and duties conferred by this act include the power and duty to review architectural and site plans to assure that the proposal is suitable by law enforcement standards. (12) Since the economic stability of casino operations is in the public interest and competition in the casino operations in Atlantic City is desirable and necessary to assure the residents of Atlantic City and of this State and other visitors to Atlantic City varied attractions and exceptional facilities, the regulatory and investigatory powers and duties conferred by this act shall include the power and duty to regulate, control and prevent economic concentration in the casino operations and the ancillary industries regulated by this act, and to encourage and preserve competition. (13) It is in the public interest that the institution of licensed casino establishments in New Jersey be strictly regulated and controlled pursuant to the above findings and pursuant to the provisions of this act, which provisions are designed to engender and maintain public confidence and trust in the regulation of the licensed enterprises, to provide an effective method of rebuilding and redeveloping existing facilities and of encouraging new capital investment in Atlantic City, and to provide a meaningful and permanent contribution to the economic viability of the resort, convention, and tourist industry of New Jersey. (14) Confidence in casino gaming operations is eroded to the extent the State of New Jersey does not provide a regulatory framework for casino gaming that permits and promotes stability and continuity in casino gaming operations. (15) Continuity and stability in casino gaming operations cannot be achieved at the risk of permitting persons with unacceptable backgrounds and records of behavior to control casino gaming operations contrary to the vital law enforcement interest of the State. (16) The aims of continuity and stability and of law enforcement will best be served by a system in which continuous casino operation can be assured under certain circumstances wherein there has been a transfer of property or another interest relating to an operating casino and the transferee has not been fully licensed or qualified, as long as control of the operation under such circumstances may be placed in the possession of a person or persons in whom the public may feel a confidence and a trust.
(17) A system whereby the suspension or revocation of casino operations under certain appropriate circumstances causes the imposition of a conservatorship upon the suspended or revoked casino operation serves both the economic and law enforcement interests involved in casino gaming operations. (18) As recognized in the July 2010 Report of the Governor's Advisory Commission on New Jersey Gaming, Sports, and Entertainment, and as confirmed in subsequent legislative hearings held throughout the State, legalized casino gaming in New Jersey presently stands at a crossroads, facing critical challenges that jeopardize its important role in the State economy, and it is in the public interest to modernize and streamline the current outdated casino regulatory structure in order to achieve efficiencies and cost savings that are more appropriately directed to marketing and infrastructure improvement efforts while, at the same time, maintaining strict integrity in the regulation of casino operations. (19) The ability of the legalized casino gaming industry in New Jersey to compete in an ever-expanding national gaming market requires a regulatory system that is sufficiently flexible to encourage persons and entities holding casino gaming licenses outside of New Jersey to participate in casino gaming in Atlantic City, to allow licensees to take full and timely advantage of advancements in technology, particularly in information technology, and business management, and to encourage the efficient utilization of resources between and among affiliated New Jersey licensees operating casinos located in Atlantic City and between and among a New Jersey affiliate and its licensed affiliates in other jurisdictions.

Notwithstanding section 30 of P.L.1984, c.218 (C.5:12-178), the authority shall make moneys on deposit in the fund available, in amounts determined pursuant to subsection c. of this section, to each casino licensee operating a casino hotel facility as of June 30, 2004 for investment in an eligible expansion project approved by the authority.

(C............)(now pending before the Legislature as Assembly Committee Substitute for Assembly Bill No. 1828 of 1984), or the operation or expansion of existing minority or women's businesses, or projects to be constructed by minority and women's businesses; and shall be allocated to those businesses and projects in the following areas and time periods: Years Years Years Years Years Years Areas 1-3 4-5 6-10 11-15 16-20 21-25 (a) Atlantic City 100% 90% 80% 50% 30% 20% (b) South Jersey 8% 12% 28% 43% 45% (c) North Jersey 2% 8% 22% 27% 35% or the purpose of this paragraph, "South Jersey" means the counties of Atlantic, Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester, Mercer, Ocean, and Salem; and "North Jersey" means the remaining 12 counties of the State. No more than 50% of the above amounts shall be made available to women, and no more than 50% of this amount shall be made available to minorities. b. (1) The authority shall ensure that minority or women's businesses which are in the construction industry or related industries or services, including suppliers of materials and professional construction engineering and design services, shall receive at least 20% of the total expenditures on the total number of eligible projects financed each year by the authority. A business shall be deemed to be a minority or women's business if it meets the definition of that term in section 2 of P.L.1984, c........ (C..........)(now pending before the Legislature as Assembly Committee Substitute for Assembly Bill No. 1828 of 1984). The authority shall, in providing financing for eligible projects, impose such conditions as necessary to effectuate this 20% requirement. (2) The primary obligation for carrying out the 20% minority and women's business set-aside rests with the borrowers of the proceeds of bonds of the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority or the licensees in the case of a direct investment. Nothing contained herein, however, shall relieve the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority from the obligation of enforcing the requirement of the 20% set-aside for minority and women's businesses. The borrower or licensee and those of its contractors which will make subcontracts with or purchase substantial supplies from or seek engineering or design services from other firms must seek out all available minority and women's businesses and make every effort to use as many of them as possible on the project in order to satisfy the set-aside requirement. A minority of women's business is available if the project is located in the market area of the minority or women's business and the minority or women's business can perform project services or supply project materials or provide engineering and design services at the time they are needed and at a competitive price. The relevant market area depends on the kind of services or supplies which are needed. The authority will require borrowers, licensees and prime contractors to engage minority and women's businesses from as wide a market area as is economically feasible. A minority or women's business is qualified if it can perform the service or supply the materials that are needed. Borrowers, licensees, and prime contractors will be expected to use minority and women's businesses with less experience than available nonminority enterprises and should expect to provide technical assistance to minority and women's businesses as needed. The authority may waive up to 10% of this 20% set-aside requirement if the borrower of the proceeds of bonds of the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority or the licensee in the case of a direct investment demonstrates at a public hearing of the authority that there are not sufficient, relevant, or qualified minority and women's business enterprises whose market areas include the project location to justify a waiver. The borrower or licensee must detail in its waiver request the efforts the borrower or licensee and its potential contractors have exerted to locate and enlist minority and women's business enterprises. The request must indicate the specific minority and women's business enterprises which were contacted and the reason each was not used. Such a waiver request should ordinarily be made after the initial bidding or negotiation procedures prove unsuccessful; however, a borrower or licensee whose eligible project is situated in an area where the minority population is very small may apply for a waiver before requesting bids on its project. The Casino Reinvestment Development Authority shall only approve a waiver under exceptional circumstances. (3) The authority may waive bonding requirements in full or in part in order to facilitate the use of such a business if the business has been rejected by two surety companies authorized to do business in this State. The authority may require a cash deposit, increase the amount of retention, or limit or eliminate periodic payments. Such a waiver may not be extended more than three times.

Findings, declarations relative to Internet gaming in Atlantic City casinos, facilities.
Status: in_force

1. The Legislature finds and declares that: a. The 1976 amendment to the New Jersey Constitution that amended Article IV, Section VII, paragraph 2 thereof, and the "Casino Control Act," P.L.1977, c.110 (C.5:12-1 et seq.), that authorized casino gaming in Atlantic City casinos clearly demonstrate, both through their text and their legislative history, that a fundamental goal of these enactments was to achieve the rehabilitation of Atlantic City as a tourist and resort destination; and b. As recognized in the July 2010 Report of the Governor's Advisory Commission on New Jersey Gaming, Sports, and Entertainment, and as confirmed in subsequent legislative hearings held in Trenton and throughout the State culminating in the enactment of significant bipartisan reform legislation in February of 2011 (P.L.2011, c.18 and P.L.2011, c.19), legalized casino gaming in New Jersey presently stands at a crossroads, facing critical regional and global challenges that jeopardize its important role in the State's economy; and c. The State and New Jersey's general public possess a vital interest in the success of tourism and casino gaming in Atlantic City, having established a limited exception to the general policy of the State concerning gaming for private gain under Article IV, Section VII, paragraph 2 of the New Jersey Constitution within Atlantic City, which by reason of its location, natural resources, and historical prominence and reputation as a noteworthy tourist destination, has been determined by the people of this State, the Legislature, and the Governor to be a unique and valuable asset that must be preserved, restored, and revitalized; and d. The tourist, resort, and convention industry in Atlantic City constitutes a critical component of our State's economic infrastructure that, if properly regulated, developed, and fostered, is capable of providing a substantial contribution to the general health, welfare, and prosperity of the State and its residents; and e. As recognized in the State Constitution and the Casino Control Act, as well as in P.L.2011, c.18 and P.L.2011, c.19, an important component of the State's historical and ongoing commitment to Atlantic City involves creating and maintaining a robust casino gaming industry that is capable of competing regionally, nationally, and internationally at the highest levels of quality while, at the same time, fully retaining strict State regulatory oversight to ensure the integrity of all casino gaming operations conducted in this State; and f. Since the development of the Internet, millions of people have chosen to gamble online through illegal off-shore operators, and such gambling is conducted without oversight, regulation, enforcement, or consumer protections, all of which raise significant concerns for the protection of individuals and consumers in this State; and g. In October 2006, the United States Congress passed the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, 31 U.S.C. 5361 et seq., which generally prohibits the use of banking instruments, including credit cards, checks, and fund transfers, for interstate Internet gambling, essentially prohibiting online gambling by United States citizens, but which includes exceptions that permit individual states to create a regulatory framework to enable intrastate Internet gambling, provided that the bets or wagers are made exclusively within a single state under certain circumstances; and h. An effective State regulatory and licensing system for participating in online gaming would increase public trust and confidence in legalized gambling, inhibit wagering by underage or otherwise vulnerable individuals, ensure that any games offered through the Internet are fair and safe, end the practice of sending much-needed jobs and tax revenue overseas to illegal operators while creating jobs and economic development in Atlantic City, and ensure that only those of good character and fitness who meet strict criteria may participate in Internet gaming operations in New Jersey; and i. Moreover, providing regulators and law enforcement with the tools to restrict and stop the illegal Internet gambling market that takes place via the Internet in foreign jurisdictions and authorizing strict controls over how Atlantic City casinos may accept wagers placed over the Internet for games conducted in Atlantic City casinos will assist and enhance the rehabilitation and redevelopment of existing tourist and convention facilities in Atlantic City consistent with the original intent of the Casino Control Act and will further assist in marketing Atlantic City to customers that now have the convenience of gambling in jurisdictions closer to their homes through the legalization of gambling in states throughout the United States over the past three decades; and j. Internet gaming, as defined and strictly limited in P.L.2013, c.27 (C.5:12-95.17 et al.), is unlike pari-mutuel wagering and other forms of remote gambling and will take place entirely on the servers and computer equipment located in the casino based in Atlantic City or in another facility in Atlantic City owned or leased by the casino licensee and thereby considered to be part of the casino hotel facility that is secure, inaccessible to the public, and specifically designed to house that equipment, and where the equipment will be under the complete control of a casino licensee or its Internet gaming affiliate. By contrast, in off-track pari-mutuel simulcast wagering, the customer places a wager at an off-track facility, the wager is accepted by the off-track facility, as evidenced by issuance of a ticket, and any amounts paid on a winning wager are paid out and received at the off-track facility. Any rights on the part of a customer in the event of a dishonored, misdirected or other frustrated pari-mutuel wager arise against the off-track facility where the wager is placed and received, not against the remote track at which the race is run; and k. Internet gaming as authorized and limited under this act, on the other hand, requires that all hardware, software, and other equipment that is involved with Internet gaming will be located in casino facilities in Atlantic City or in other facilities in Atlantic City owned or leased by a casino licensee and thereby considered to be part of a casino hotel facility that are secure, inaccessible to the public, and specifically designed to house that equipment, and where the equipment will be under the complete control of a casino licensee or its Internet gaming affiliate. All that is needed by a customer is a computing or similar device of general application and a communications connection through a common carriage or similar medium. For example, in an online poker or other card game, the "table" is the server hosted by the operator in the casino premises in Atlantic City. The "cards" are played on that table in Atlantic City, and the wager is placed on and accepted at that table. No activity other than the transmission of information to and from the players along common carriage lines takes place outside of Atlantic City; and l. Pursuant to the 1976 amendment to the New Jersey State Constitution and the express authorization to the Legislature to determine the type of gambling games that may be conducted in casinos under regulation and control by the State, the Legislature hereby declares that in furtherance of the goals of the Casino Control Act and in recognition that the technologies necessary to support Internet gaming can be prescribed and implemented in a manner that ensures all such gambling activity occurs within casinos located in Atlantic City or in other facilities in Atlantic City owned or leased by a casino licensee and thereby considered to be part of a casino hotel facility that are secure, inaccessible to the public, and specifically designed to house Internet gaming equipment, and where that equipment will be under the complete control of a casino licensee or its Internet gaming affiliate, it is appropriate that the Casino Control Act be amended and supplemented to authorize licensed casino operators to conduct such games within the casino premises with all wagering to be conducted solely within the casinos.

In lieu tax.
Status: in_force

146. a. Any casino licensee whose licensed premises are located in an area which has been declared, by the Department of Community Affairs and the division, to be a blighted area, or an area endangered by blight, may, for a period of not more than 25 years, enter into a written agreement with the Department of the Treasury, which agreement shall, with respect to real property held for use as a licensed casino hotel, provide for the payment of taxes to the tax collector of the municipality, in lieu of full local real property tax payments, in an amount to be computed by the sum of the following amounts, payable at the time specified by law for the payment of local property taxes: (1) An annual amount equal to 2% of the cost of the real property investment. For the purposes of this section, "cost of the real property investment" means only the actual cost or fair market value of direct labor and all materials used in the construction, expansion, or rehabilitation of all buildings, structures, and facilities at the project site, including the costs, if any, of land acquisition and land preparation, provision of access roads, utilities, drainage facilities, and parking facilities, together with architectural, engineering, legal, surveying, testing, and contractors' fees associated with the project; provided, however, that the applicant shall cause such costs to be certified and verified to the Department of the Treasury by an independent certified public accountant, following the completion of the investment in the project; and provided further, however, that upon execution of an agreement pursuant to this section, only real property improvements made after July 6, 1976 shall be subject to the provisions herein; plus (2) An amount equivalent to the difference between an amount that would have been payable as property taxes under the full local property tax rate and the amount calculated pursuant to subsection a.(1) of this section, which shall be payable from such profits, if any, as hereinafter defined in section 147, as shall remain after deducting therefrom interest and principal paid on mortgage loans applicable to the real property held for use as a licensed casino hotel. The total payments provided by this section shall not exceed the full local property taxes normally payable for the year. b. At the time an applicant applies for a license under this act, he shall determine whether to exercise the option to pay in lieu taxes under this section or whether the property of the applicant shall be subject to the normal real property taxes of the municipality. This determination having been made and approved, the method selected may not be changed or altered during the term of the agreement. c. Upon the filing of a certification by the State Treasurer in any year that an agreement has been entered into pursuant to this section, the in lieu tax provisions of this section shall be applicable with respect to the ensuing tax years.

Urban revitalization incentive program.
Status: in_force

4. a. There is established the incentive program that shall be administered by the authority. The purpose of the incentive program is to facilitate the development of entertainment-retail districts for the city of Atlantic City and to promote revitalization of other urban areas in the State. The provisions of section 30 of P.L.1984, c.218 (C.5:12-178) shall not apply to the incentive program established pursuant to this section. In order to implement the incentive program, the authority is authorized to accept applications from casino licensees on or before June 30, 2014 for approval of a district project and to designate by resolution up to eleven districts and to enter into project grant agreements with casino licensees to develop district projects within each district or to approve a district project sponsored by the authority pursuant to section 12 of P.L.2001, c.221 (C.5:12-173.20). The authority may disburse district project grants in accordance with sections 7 and 8 of P.L.2001, c.221 (C.5:12-173.15 and 5:12-173.16) to casino licensees with approved district projects or to the authority for a district project sponsored by the authority pursuant to section 12 of P.L.2001, c.221 (C.5:12-173.20) under the incentive program, if the authority determines that: (1) construction of the district project will commence within two years of the authority's approval of the district project, or as otherwise provided pursuant to the project grant agreement with the authority, or pursuant to the district project plan approved by the authority for an authority sponsored district project; (2) a proposed district project plan submitted pursuant to section 10 of P.L.2001, c.221 (C.5:12-173.18) is economically sound and will assist in the overall development of the city of Atlantic City and will benefit the people of New Jersey by increasing employment opportunities and strengthening New Jersey's economy; (3) the disbursement of grants to a casino licensee is a material factor in the licensee's decision to go forward with a district project; and (4) the casino licensee has agreed to invest a minimum of $20 million in its investment alternative tax obligations under section 3 of P.L.1984, c.218 (C.5:12-144.1), such obligation to be made in $10 million increments to one or more entertainment-retail projects, or housing and community development projects, approved by the authority and the department, in an urban area outside of Atlantic City, and designated by the commissioner as eligible for, and in need of the project, pursuant to section 11 of P.L.2001, c.221 (C.5:12-173.19). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the requirements of this paragraph shall not apply with regard to the five district projects authorized by this amendatory and supplementary act, P.L.2004, 129. b. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in P.L.2001, c.221 (C.5:12-173.9 et al.), the authority and the commissioner jointly may, in their discretion, also designate two entertainment-retail projects, one in North Jersey and one in South Jersey, as eligible for funds under the incentive program. c. If construction of a designated district project does not commence within the time required pursuant to this section, the authority may remove that designation and, in accordance with procedures adopted by the authority by resolution, accept applications for and designate another district project of another casino licensee notwithstanding the application time requirements of this section. d. The authority may by resolution amend its designation of a district project to increase the area of the district project by up to 50% with the agreement of the casino licensee. e. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in P.L.2001, c.221 (C.5:12-173.9 et seq.), the authority is authorized to accept an application from an entity other than a casino licensee on or before June 30, 2014 for approval of a district project and to designate by resolution an entertainment-retail district, enter into a project grant agreement with such entity to develop a district project within the district, maintain separate accounts as appropriate, and disburse district project grants in accordance with sections 7 and 8 of P.L.2001, c.221 (C.5:12-173.15 and 5:12-173.16) to such entity with an approved district project under the incentive program.
