Pilot program for issuance of additional types of casino licenses.
Status: in_force

1. a. Notwithstanding the provisions of P.L.1977, c.110 (C.5:12-1 et seq.) to the contrary, the Casino Control Commission shall establish a pilot program under which it shall issue two additional types of casino licenses: a small-scale casino facility license and a staged casino facility license. The commission shall not issue a total of more than two licenses under the pilot program and at least one of the licenses issued shall be a staged casino facility license. Each small-scale casino facility and each staged casino facility licensed under this section shall be new construction, located within the Boardwalk casino zone, and shall originate on the beach block touching the Boardwalk, but may extend across the street. b. An applicant may apply to the commission for a casino license to operate a small-scale casino facility consisting of not more than 24,000 square feet of casino space and not less than 200 qualified sleeping units, with additional casino space as may be approved by the commission in connection with the development of special amenities pursuant to section 2 of P.L.2010, c.115 (C.5:12-80.2). c. An applicant may apply to the commission for a casino license to operate a staged casino facility which shall initially consist of not more than 34,000 square feet of casino space and not less than 200 qualified sleeping units, on the condition that within two years of the date of licensure the licensee shall begin an expansion of the facility to include not less than a total of 500 qualified sleeping units which shall be completed within five years of initial licensure. A staged casino facility licensee shall be deemed to have begun the expansion required by this subsection if the licensee has obtained all necessary permits, including a permit issued pursuant to the "Coastal Area Facility Review Act," P.L.1973, c.185 (C.13:19-1 et seq.), that are necessary for the commencement of site work and the construction of footings and foundations, and has begun site work, including grading, footing and foundation work. A licensee shall be deemed to have completed the expansion of the facility upon receipt of a temporary or permanent certificate of occupancy for the qualified sleeping units. Upon the completion of 75% of the expansion of the facility, as certified by the project architect or engineer, such level of completion shall be deemed an addition of those sleeping units for purposes of calculating such licensee's maximum allowable casino space under section 83 of P.L.1977, c.110 (C.5:12-83), provided that, upon the completion of the expansion, for every 100 qualified sleeping units above the initial 200, the initial maximum of 34,000 square feet of casino space may be enlarged by 10,000 square feet, for a maximum of 54,000 square feet of casino space, except that any enlargement of the initial casino space undertaken during the period of staged casino licensure in connection with the development of special amenities as provided under section 2 of P.L.2010, c.115 (C.5:12-80.2) shall be counted toward the calculation of the maximum 54,000 square feet of casino space.

No more than two facilities shall be licensed pursuant to this section at the same time and at least one of the facilities shall be a staged casino facility. If at any time the commission is in receipt of more than two applications for licensure, the commission shall rank the applications according to criteria developed by the commission, including, without limitation, job preservation, job creation, immediacy of project development and neighborhood benefit, but shall give preference to applicants seeking licensure to operate a staged casino facility as provided herein. g.

At the time of filing an application for an off-track wagering license, the applicant shall submit to the commission a non-refundable filing fee in an amount established by regulation by the commission and a certification in a form prescribed by the commission which specifies, but is not limited to, the following information: (1) a plan depicting the proposed facility and improvements thereon, including information about the size, seating capacity, parking, and services to be provided at the facility; (2) the location of the proposed facility and relevant demographic or other information concerning the municipality and surrounding area where the proposed facility is to be located; (3) the number of permanent and part-time jobs expected to be created at the proposed facility and gross revenues expected to be generated by the facility; (4) the fire evacuation plan for the proposed facility; (5) the type of food and beverages available, which shall include the provision of first-class dining facilities; and (6) such other information as the commission may require. b. The applicant shall file a separate application and certification for each proposed off-track wagering facility. c. The commission shall charge each off-track wagering licensee a reasonable fee in connection with the renewal of the off-track wagering license and shall establish by regulation procedures, conditions, and forms necessary for renewal of licenses issued under this act. The amount of the license renewal fee shall be used by the commission to cover commission expenses associated with implementation of the provisions of this act, P.L.2001, c.199, and shall reasonably reflect those costs. d. The commission shall by regulation establish the maximum hours of operation of off-track wagering facilities. e. (1) Notwithstanding R.S.33:1-42, priority for the service of alcoholic beverages for on-premise consumption at an off-track wagering facility shall be given to a Class C plenary retail consumption licensee, by an agreement or contract with the off-track wagering licensee, pursuant to the provisions of R.S.33:1-1 et seq., in accordance with such procedures as established by statute and by regulation of the Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control. When a Class C plenary retail consumption license or licensee is available in the municipality, the authority shall not hold a license to provide alcoholic beverages at an off-track wagering facility. However, when a Class C plenary retail consumption licensee or license is not available in the municipality, the Director of the Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control shall issue a special concessionaire permit to the authority for the provision of alcoholic beverages at the off-track wagering facility and, if the off-track wagering license is held by an off-track wagering licensee other than the authority, the director may issue a non-transferable special license to provide alcoholic beverages at the off-track wagering facility pursuant to paragraph (2) of this subsection. (2) The Director of the Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control may issue one special license to an individual, corporation, or other type of legal entity to serve alcoholic beverages at an off-track wagering facility located in the municipality where a Class C plenary retail consumption licensee was not available to provide alcoholic beverages at the off-track wagering facility pursuant to paragraph (1) of this subsection. The license shall authorize the sale of alcoholic beverages for immediate consumption on the premises of the off-track wagering facility. The director may issue not more than 15 licenses pursuant to this paragraph. Furthermore, licenses issued pursuant to this paragraph shall be subject to the following requirements: (a) No person who would fail to qualify as a licensee under Title 33 of the Revised Statutes shall be permitted to hold an interest in a special license under the provisions of this paragraph; (b) Licenses shall be subject to the provisions of Title 33 of the Revised Statutes and rules and regulations promulgated by the director to the extent those provisions are not inconsistent with the provisions of this act; (c) No license issued pursuant to this paragraph shall be transferred to any other premises; (d) Application for the initial issuance and renewal of each license shall be made to the director on an annual basis. The fee for the initial issuance of the license shall be the average sale price for the three most recent sales of plenary retail consumption licenses in the municipality where the license is being issued during the preceding five years. If the off-track wagering facility is located within the boundaries of two or more municipalities, the highest average sale price of the two or more municipalities shall be used. If less than three plenary retail consumption licenses have been sold in the municipality or municipalities, as the case may be, within the previous five years, the director shall obtain an appraisal, at the applicant's expense, to determine the appropriate fee for the license. The appraisal process shall include an examination of previous transactions in the municipality or municipalities, as the case may be, and shall reflect what a willing buyer, under no pressure to buy, would pay a willing seller, under no pressure to sell, for a plenary retail consumption license in that municipality or municipalities, as the case may be. One half of the amount of the application fee for the initial issuance of the license shall be paid upon the issuance of the license and the other half of that amount shall be paid one year later. The director shall establish an annual fee for the license which shall not exceed the fee which may be imposed by a municipality for a plenary retail consumption license pursuant to R.S.33:1-12, a portion of which shall be paid by the director to the New Jersey Racing Commission for the funding of horse breeding incentive programs; (e) The fee for the initial issuance of the license shall be distributed in the following manner: (i) Twenty-five percent shall be paid to the municipality where the off-track wagering facility is located and if the off-track wagering facility is located within the boundaries of two or more municipalities, the fee shall be divided equally among those municipalities; (ii) Twenty-five percent shall be paid to the Director of the Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control; and (iii) Fifty percent shall be paid to the New Jersey Racing Commission for the funding of horse breeding incentive programs; (f) The individual corporation or entity holding the license shall not be entitled to sell a license issued pursuant to this paragraph, and the license shall expire upon the closure of the off-track wagering facility; (g) The director shall not issue a special concessionaire permit for any off-track wagering facility or premises which is eligible to obtain a license to serve alcoholic beverages under the provisions of this paragraph; and (h) Pursuant to the "Administrative Procedure Act," P.L.1968, c.410 (C.52:14B-1 et seq.), the director shall adopt rules and regulations to effectuate the purposes of this paragraph. (3) Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to allow the Director of the Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control to issue a special concessionaire permit or a special license described in paragraph (2) of this subsection to the authority pursuant to this act, P.L.2001, c.199, or to issue a special license to any individual, corporation, or other type of legal entity to serve alcoholic beverages in a municipality that prohibits the retail sale of alcoholic beverages within its boundaries. f. Persons under the age of 18 years shall not be permitted in any off-track wagering facility, except in dining areas if accompanied by a parent or guardian. g. The commission shall by regulation establish minimum standards for off-track wagering facilities, including, but not limited to, standards for quality, size, seating capacity, the provision of first-class dining facilities, and parking and services to be provided. The failure of an off-track wagering licensee to meet these standards shall be sufficient cause for the commission to revoke, suspend, or refuse to renew a license pursuant to the provisions of section 8 of P.L.2001, c.199 (C.5:5-134). h. Notwithstanding the provisions of any law, rule, or regulation to the contrary, an off-track wagering facility shall be a permitted use in all commercial and industrial districts of a municipality. i. In evaluating an application for an off-track wagering license, the commission shall consider the proximity of the applicant's proposed site to other planned or existing off-track wagering facilities and to racetracks in this State. If, in the opinion of the commission, the establishment of the facility at its proposed location would be inimical to the interests of another planned or established off-track wagering facility, or to a State racetrack, the commission shall require the applicant to consider alternative sites for the proposed facility.

Status: in_force

85. a. (1) Beginning on the first day of the first month next following the enactment of P.L.2015 c.19 (C.5:10A-1 et al.), there is imposed a Meadowlands regional hotel use assessment on the rent for the occupancy of every room in every hotel or transient accommodation located in the Meadowlands district, including any hotels located on land owned by the State. (2) Beginning on the first day of the first month next following the enactment of P.L.2018, c.52, the Meadowlands regional hotel use assessment shall be applied on the rent for the occupancy of every room in every hotel or transient accommodation located outside of the Meadowlands district, but within a constituent municipality, including any hotels located on land owned by the State. (3) The assessment imposed under this subsection shall be 3% of the rent charged for every occupancy of a room or rooms in a hotel or transient accommodation subject to taxation pursuant to subsection (d) of section 3 of P.L.1966, c.30 (C.54:32B-3), and shall be paid to the Director of the Division of Taxation by each person required to collect the tax not later than the 10th day of each month based on the occupancy of rooms in that hotel or transient accommodation during the previous calendar month. b. In carrying out the provisions of subsection a. of this section, the director shall have all of the powers and authority granted in P.L.1966, c.30 (C.54:32B-1 et seq.). The tax shall be filed and paid in a manner prescribed by the Director of the Division of Taxation. The director shall promulgate such rules and regulations as the director determines are necessary to effectuate the provisions of this section. Each person required to collect the assessment shall be personally liable for the assessment imposed, collected, or required to be paid, collected, or remitted under this section. Any such person shall have the same right in respect to collecting the fee from that person's customer or in respect to non-payment of the fee by the customer as if the fee were a part of the purchase price of the occupancy or rent, as the case may be, and payable at the same time; provided, however, that the director shall be joined as a party in any action or proceeding brought to collect the fee. Notwithstanding any other provision of law or administrative action to the contrary, transient space marketplaces shall be required to collect and pay on behalf of persons engaged in the business of providing transient accommodations located in this State the tax for transactions obtained through the transient space marketplace. For not less than four years following the end of the calendar year in which the transaction occurred, the transient space marketplace shall maintain the following data for those transactions consummated through the transient space marketplace: (1) The name of the person who provided the transient accommodation; (2) The name of the customer who procured occupancy of the transient accommodation; (3) The address, including any unit designation, of the transient accommodation; (4) The dates and nightly rates for which the consumer procured occupancy of the transient accommodation; (5) The municipal transient accommodation registration number, if applicable; (6) A statement as to whether such booking services will be provided in connection with (i) short-term rental of the entirety of such unit, (ii) short-term rental of part of such unit, but not the entirety of such unit, and/or (iii) short-term rental of the entirety of such unit, or part thereof, in which a non-short-term occupant will continue to occupy such unit for the duration of such short-term rental; (7) The individualized name or number of each such advertisement or listing connected to such unit and the uniform resource locator (URL) for each such listing or advertisement, where applicable; and (8) Such other information as the Division of Taxation may by rule require. The Division of Taxation may audit transient space marketplaces as necessary to ensure data accuracy and enforce tax compliance. For purposes of this section, "person" includes: an individual, partnership, corporation, or an officer, director, stockholder, or employee of a corporation, or a member or employee of a partnership, who as such officer, director, stockholder, employee, or member is under the duty to perform the act in respect of which the violation occurs. An assessment imposed under this section shall be in addition to any other tax or fee imposed pursuant to statute or local ordinance or resolution by any governmental entity. c. Assessment revenue shall be collected by the Director of the Division of Taxation and shall be deposited by the Director of the Division of Taxation into the intermunicipal account established pursuant to section 53 of P.L.2015, c.19 (C.5:10A-53), and shall be used to pay meadowlands adjustment payments to municipalities in the Meadowlands district pursuant to the provisions of sections 1 through 68 of P.L.2015, c.19 (C.5:10A-1 et seq.). If in any year, assessment revenue in the intermunicipal account exceeds the amount necessary to pay meadowlands adjustment payments to municipalities in the Meadowlands district, that remaining assessment revenue may be used for the purposes set forth in subsection e. of this section. d. In the event sufficient assessment revenue is unavailable in any year to pay all of the required meadowlands adjustment payments to municipalities in the Meadowlands district, the State Treasurer shall provide the commission with such funds as may be necessary to make all of the required payments to those municipalities. e. In the event that in any year, after the required meadowlands adjustment payments have been made to municipalities in the Meadowlands district, assessment revenue remains in the intermunicipal account, that remaining assessment revenue may be used in that year for the following purposes: (1) the commission may perform projects in the areas of flood control, traffic, renewable energy, or other infrastructure improvement projects and utilize monies from the project fund for property acquisition, demolition, clearance, removal, relocation, renovation, alteration, construction, reconstruction, installation, or repair of a structure or improvement, and the costs associated therewith including the costs of appraisal, economic and environmental analyses or engineering, planning, design, architectural, surveying, or other professional services; (2) the commission may expend funds towards the promotion of the Meadowlands district as a tourism destination; (3) the commission may fund the acquisition of property for the purpose of open space preservation and the costs associated therewith including the costs of appraisal, economic and environmental analyses or engineering, surveying, or other professional services; or (4) the commission may fund the creation of parks and other recreational facilities and the costs associated therewith, including the costs of appraisal, economic and environmental analyses or engineering planning, design, architectural, surveying, or other professional services. Not later than the first day of the third month next following the enactment of P.L.2015, c.19 (C.5:10A-1 et al.) and pursuant to the "Administrative Procedure Act," P.L.1968, c.410 (C.52:14B-1 et seq.), the commission shall adopt, by resolution, standards for the disbursement in any year of any remaining assessment revenue for projects and uses set forth in subsection e. of this section. f. Terms used in this section shall have the meaning given those terms pursuant to section 2 of P.L.1966, c.30 (C.54:32B-2). L.2015, c.19, s.85; amended 2015, c.72, s.28; 2018, c.49, s.2; 2018, c.52, s.2; 2019, c.235, s.2.

Findings, declarations
Status: in_force

2. The Legislature finds and declares to be the public policy of this State that it is in the best interest of the public and of boxing, wrestling, extreme wrestling, kick boxing and combative sports that boxing, wrestling, extreme wrestling, kick boxing and combative sports exhibitions, events, performances and contests should be subject to an effective and efficient system of strict control and regulation in order to: a. Protect the safety and well-being of participants in boxing, wrestling, extreme wrestling, kick boxing and combative sports exhibitions, events, performances and contests; and b. Promote the public confidence and trust in the regulatory process and the conduct of boxing, wrestling, extreme wrestling, kick boxing and combative sports exhibitions, events, performances and contests. To further such public confidence and trust, the regulatory provisions of this act are designed to extend strict State regulation to all persons, practices and associations related to the operation of any boxing, wrestling, extreme wrestling, kick boxing or combative sports exhibition, event, performance or contest held in this State. The Legislature further finds and declares that, because its principal purpose is to entertain without injuring or disabling one of the participants, professional wrestling should be excluded from this system of regulation and control. The Legislature further finds and declares that, because its principal purpose is to entertain by having its participants intentionally cause bleeding, or perform acts which reasonably could be expected to cause bleeding, extreme wrestling should be distinguished from professional wrestling. The emphasis on dangerous stunts that cause injury and bleeding makes extreme wrestling potentially harmful to its participants. Furthermore, the atmosphere of base violence and depravity that prevails at an extreme wrestling event has a deleterious effect on children and young adults. Moreover, the liberal bloodletting that characterizes many extreme wrestling events constitutes a public health hazard not only for the participants, but also the spectators. For all of these reasons, extreme wrestling should be subject to strict State regulation. Because the creativity of those who seek to profit from vulgarity cannot be underestimated, the State Athletic Control Board should be given a proper amount of latitude to regulate the attendant excesses of extreme wrestling that presently exist and that could be incorporated into extreme wrestling events in the future.

Applicability and requirements
Status: in_force

Applicability and Requirements. a. Except as provided in subsection b. of this section, whenever any person contracts to transfer any property relating to an ongoing casino operation, including a security holding in a casino licensee or holding or intermediary company, under circumstances which require that the transferee obtain casino licensure under section 82 of the "Casino Control Act," P.L.1977, c.110 (C.5:12-82), or qualification under section 84 or 85 of the "Casino Control Act," P.L.1977, c.110 (C.5:12-84 or 5:12-85), the contract shall not specify a closing or settlement date which is earlier than the 121st day after the submission of a completed application for licensure or qualification, which application shall include a fully executed and approved trust agreement in accordance with section 5 of this 1987 amendatory and supplementary act. Any contract provision which specifies an earlier closing or settlement date shall be void for all purposes. Subsequent to the earlier of the report of the division on interim authorization or the 90th day after the timely submission of the completed application, but no later than the closing or settlement date, the commission shall hold a hearing and render a decision on the interim authorization of the applicant. If the commission grants interim authorization, then, subject to the provisions of sections 3 through 7 of this 1987 amendatory and supplementary act, the closing or settlement may occur without interruption of casino operations. If the commission denies interim authorization, there shall be no closing or settlement until the commission makes a determination on the qualification of the applicant, and if the commission then denies qualification the contract shall thereby be terminated for all purposes without liability on the part of the transferor. b. Whenever any person, as a result of a transfer of publicly-traded securities of a casino licensee or a holding or intermediary company or a financing entity of a casino licensee, is required to qualify under section 84 or 85 of the "Casino Control Act," P.L.1977, c.110 (C.5:12-84 or 5:12-85), the person shall, within 30 days after the commission determines that qualification is required or declines to waive qualification under section 84, under paragraph (1) of subsection d. of section 85, or under subsection f. of section 85, or within such additional time as the commission may for good cause allow, file a completed application for such licensure or qualification, which application shall include a fully executed and approved trust agreement in accordance with section 5 of P.L.1987, c.409 (C.5:12-95.14), or in the alternative, such person, within 120 days after the commission determines that qualification is required or a waiver of qualification is denied, shall divest such securities as the commission may require in order to remove the need for qualification. If such person determines to divest such securities, notice of such determination shall be filed with the commission within 30 days after the commission determines that qualification is required or that a waiver of qualification is denied. No extension of the time for filing a completed application shall be granted unless the person submits a written acknowledgement of the jurisdiction of the commission and the obligations imposed by the "Casino Control Act," P.L.1977, c.110 (C.5:12-1 et seq.). If a person required by this section to file an application fails to do so in a timely manner, such failure shall constitute a per se disqualification to continue to act as a security holder, and the commission shall take appropriate action under the "Casino Control Act." If a person required by this section to file an application does so in a timely manner, then, subsequent to the earlier of the report of the division on interim authorization or the 90th day after submission of the completed application, but not later than the 120th day after such submission, the commission shall hold a hearing and render a decision on the interim authorization of such person. The pendency of proceedings under this subsection shall not prevent the renewal of a casino license under section 88 of the "Casino Control Act," P.L.1977, c.110 (C.5:12-88), so long as any person required by this subsection to file an application has complied with this subsection and has otherwise complied with the "Casino Control Act."

With respect to all applicants under section 3, if the commission grants interim authorization, it shall thereafter order that the trust agreement become operative at such time as it finds reasonable cause to believe that the applicant or any person required to be qualified in connection with the application may be found unqualified. c. While the trust agreement remains operative, the trustee shall exercise all rights incident to the ownership of the property subject to the trust, and shall be vested with all powers, authority and duties necessary to the unencumbered exercise of such rights, as provided in sections 31 through 40 of P.L.1978, c.7 (C.5:12-130.1 through 5:12-130.11), except that the applicant shall have no right to participate in the earnings of the casino hotel or receive any return on its investment or debt security holdings during the time the trust is operative. d. The trust agreement, once operative, shall remain operative until the commission finds the applicant qualified, or the commission finds the applicant unqualified and the property subject to the trust is disposed of in accordance with subsection e. of section 5 of this 1987 amendatory and supplementary act, except that the applicant may request the commission to direct the trustee to dispose of the property subject to the trust, in accordance with that subsection e., prior to a finding with respect to qualification. e. If the commission denies qualification to a person subject to sections 3 through 7 of this 1987 amendatory and supplementary act, the trustee shall endeavor and be authorized to sell, assign, convey or otherwise dispose of all property subject to the trust to such persons as shall be appropriately licensed or qualified or shall obtain interim authorization in accordance with those sections. The disposition of trust property by the trustee shall be completed within 120 days of the denial of qualification, or within such additional time as the commission may for good cause allow, and shall be conducted in accordance with sections 31 through 40 of P.L.1978, c.7 (C.5:12-130.1 through 5:12-130.11), except that the proceeds of such disposition shall be distributed to the unqualified applicant only in an amount not to exceed the lower of the actual cost of the assets to such unqualified applicant or the value of such assets calculated as if the investment had been made on the date the trust becomes operative, and any excess remaining proceeds shall be paid to the casino revenue fund.
