37. a. (1) Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, the New Jersey Racing Commission, upon application by a receiving track, as defined in section 2 of P.L.1985, c.269 (C.5:5-111), and in accordance with applicable federal law, may permit the track to receive, in addition to the horse races authorized by section 10 of P.L.1985, c.269 (C.5:5-119), simulcast transmissions of the racing program, in full or in part, from any out-of-State sending track, as defined in section 2 of P.L.1985, c.269 (C.5:5-111), during any time period, provided that the receiving track agrees to receive all simulcast horse races which any in-State sending track wishes to transmit to it during that same time period, and provided further that, except as provided in subsection b. of this section, the parimutuel pools at the receiving track shall be combined with comparable parimutuel pools at the out-of-State sending track. No limit shall be placed on the number of racing programs the track may receive from out-of-State sending tracks except as otherwise provided herein. (2) Whenever an out-of-State sending track participates in simulcasting pursuant to paragraph (1) of this subsection and the parimutuel pools are combined at the out-of-State sending track, the types of wagering, takeout, distribution of winnings, rules of racing, method of calculating breakage, and the percentage of deposits remaining undistributed from a parimutuel pool after payment is made to winning ticket holders shall be determined in accordance with the law or policy applicable to the out-of-State sending track.

However, moneys resulting from breakage on amounts wagered at the receiving track and from outstanding parimutuel tickets issued at the receiving track in all instances shall be distributed as provided in section 38 of this act. c.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, annuity jackpot payments may be paid to the estate of a deceased jackpot winner, in the same manner as they were paid to the winner, upon receipt by the slot system operator of a certified copy of an order appointing an executor or an administrator. c. A person may be assigned and paid the annuity jackpot payments to which an annuity jackpot winner is entitled pursuant to a judicial order of the New Jersey Superior Court or any other court having jurisdiction over property located in this State provided that the order pertains to claims of ownership in the annuity jackpot payments, division of marital property in divorce actions, bankruptcy, child support, appointment of a guardian or conservator, or distribution of an estate. d. A person may be assigned and paid the annuity jackpot payments to which an annuity jackpot winner is entitled pursuant to a judicial order of the New Jersey Superior Court or any other court having jurisdiction over property located in this State. The annuity jackpot winner and the proposed assignee shall prepare a proposed form of order and submit such proposed order to the court for its consideration. The proposed form of order shall contain the following information: (1) the full legal name, address, social security number or taxpayer identification number and, if applicable, resident alien number of the winner; (2) the full legal name, address, social security number or taxpayer identification number and, if applicable, resident alien number of the assignee; (3) the date on which and the casino where the annuity jackpot was won; (4) the slot machine game on which the annuity jackpot was won; (5) the slot system operator primarily responsible for making the annuity jackpot payments; (6) the gross amount of the annuity jackpot won before application of withholding taxes; (7) the gross amount of each payment to be made to the winner by the slot system operator before application of withholding taxes; (8) the dates of the payments to be assigned and the amount of the specific payments to be assigned on each date; (9) the identity of the winner's spouse, domestic partner or partner in a civil union, if any, and the interest of that person, if any, in the annuity jackpot payments; (10) the identity of any other co-owner, claimant or lienholder and the amount of the interests, liens, security interests, prior assignments or offsets asserted by each such party; (11) that the interest rate or discount rate, as applicable, and all fees and costs and other material terms relating to the assignment are expressly and clearly included in all material documents and in all documents that include any obligations of the annuity jackpot winner; (12) that the interest rate or discount rate, as applicable, and any other fees or charges associated with the assignment do not indicate overreaching or exploitation, do not exceed current usury rates, and does not violate any laws of usury of this State; (13) that the winner has reviewed and understands the terms of the assignment; (14) that the winner understands that the winner will not receive the annuity jackpot payments, or portions thereof, for the years assigned; (15) that the winner has agreed to the assignment of the winner's own free will without undue influence or duress; (16) that the winner has retained and consulted with independent legal counsel who has advised the winner of the winner's legal rights and obligations; (17) that the winner has retained and consulted with an independent tax advisor concerning the tax consequences of the assignment; (18) that the winner has disclosed all existing debts, liens and child support obligations and does not seek assignment for purposes of evading creditors, judgments or obligations for child support; and (19) that the winner has certified that: the winner is not obligated to repay any public assistance benefits; and the winner does not have a child support obligation, or if the winner does have a child support obligation, that no arrearage is due. The annuity jackpot winner and the proposed assignee shall provide a copy of the proposed form of order to the slot system operator at least 10 days before the court is scheduled to act on the proposed order to allow the slot system operator the opportunity to ensure that the proposed order is complete and correct in all respects prior to the court's approval. e. Before a winner is legally bound, by agreement, contract or otherwise, and prior to the issuance of an order pursuant to subsection d. of this section, the assignee shall provide the winner with all material documents which shall be binding on the assignor, including documents evidencing obligations of the winner, and a written notice recommending that the winner obtain independent counsel before signing any document which shall be binding on the assignor. All documents shall include a notice of the assignor's right to cancel the agreement which shall be located in immediate proximity to all spaces reserved for the signature of the winner in bold-faced type of at least 10 points and which shall provide as follows: "You have the right to cancel this assignment without any cost to you until midnight three business days after the day on which you have signed an agreement to assign all or a portion of your annuity jackpot. Cancellation occurs when you give notice by regular first class mail, postage prepaid, to the assignee at the address listed at the top of the first page of this document that you wish to cancel the assignment. Notice is deemed given when deposited in a mailbox." f. The slot system operator shall, not later than 10 days after receiving a true and correct copy of the filed judicial order, send the winner and the assignee written confirmation of receipt of the court-ordered assignment and of the slot system operator's intent to rely thereon in making future payments to the assignee named in the order. The slot system operator shall, thereafter, make all payments in accordance with the judicial order. No change in the terms of any assignment shall be effective unless made pursuant to a subsequent judicial order pursuant to this section. g. The slot system operator may impose a reasonable fee on an assignor to defray any direct or indirect administrative expenses associated with an assignment. h. The division, the commission and the State are not parties to assignment proceedings, except that the State may intervene as necessary to protect the State's interest in monies owed to the State. i. The slot system operator and the State shall comply with, and rely upon, a judicial order in distributing payments subject to that order. j. A winner may pledge or grant a security interest in all or part of an annuity jackpot as collateral for repayment of a loan pursuant to a judicial order containing the information required by subsection d. of this section which the court deems relevant to the pledge or grant. k. Except where inconsistent with the provisions of this section, the New Jersey consumer fraud act, P.L.1960, c.39 (C.56:8-1 et seq.), shall apply to all transactions under this section. l. The provisions of subsections d., e. and j. of this section shall be invalid if: (1) the United States Internal Revenue Service issues a technical rule letter, revenue ruling, or other public ruling in which it is determined that because of the right of assignment provided by subsection d. of this section, annuity jackpot winners who do not exercise the right to assign annuity jackpot payments would be subject to an immediate income tax liability for the value of the entire annuity jackpot rather than annual income tax liability for each installment when received; or (2) a court of competent jurisdiction issues a published decision holding that because of the right of assignment provided by subsection d. of this section, annuity jackpot winners who do not exercise the right to assign annuity jackpot payments would be subject to an immediate income tax liability for the value of the entire annuity jackpot rather than annual income tax liability for each installment when received. m. Upon receipt, the division shall immediately file a copy of a letter or ruling of the United States Internal Revenue Service or a published decision of a court of competent jurisdiction, described in subsection l. of this section, with the Secretary of State. No assignment shall be approved pursuant to subsection d. of this section after the date of such filing. n. A voluntary assignment shall not include or cover payments, or portions of payments, that are subject to the offset pursuant to section 5 of this amendatory and supplementary act, P.L.2005, c.46 (C.5:12-100.2), or any other law, unless appropriate provisions are made to satisfy the obligations giving rise to the offset. o. No assignee shall directly or indirectly recommend or facilitate the hiring of any lawyer or accountant to assist the assignor in determining the appropriateness of the proposed assignment. Further, the assignee shall not offer, prior to the closing, tax or investment advice. L.2005, c.46, s.4; amended 2011, c.19, s.66.

Findings, declarations relative to the "Hackensack Meadowlands Transportation Planning District Act of 2015."
Status: in_force

70. The Legislature finds and declares that: a. Every day, residents of New Jersey confront congestion in some part of their day as they commute to work, recreate, or travel for family business. As our State continues to grow and prosper, we can only expect more cars, trucks, and buses on our roads. Meanwhile, the number of riders on our trains and buses is also increasing along with the number of pedestrians and bicyclists. b. Our ability to deal with these demands at all levels of government is limited without a sound framework for developing responses to congestion and aging infrastructure problems and providing adequate funding to implement strategic solutions. c. Sections 69 through 81 of P.L.2015, c.19 (C.5:10A-69 through C.5:10A-81) develops the concept of a transportation planning district, which permits the assessment of fees on future development to ensure that adequate transportation infrastructure is put into place to accommodate the vehicular and pedestrian traffic caused by future development. d. Existing financial resources and existing mechanisms for securing financial commitments for transportation improvements are inadequate to meet transportation improvement needs which are the result of new development in growth areas and, therefore, it is appropriate for the State to make special provisions for the financing of needed transportation improvements in the Meadowlands District, including the assessment of fees on new developments which are responsible for the travel demand burdens on the transportation system. Creation of a transportation planning district provides a mechanism through which the State, counties, and municipalities, and the Meadowlands Regional Commission, as well as the private sector, will have the means to work together to respond to transportation needs on a regional basis as determined by travel conditions or transportation needs in developed areas rather than upon preexisting boundaries. The Meadowlands Regional Commission and the Meadowlands Transportation Planning Board shall oversee the development of a district-wide transportation plan through a consultative planning process which relies upon the participation of public and private sector interests. e. In assessing development fees under sections 69 through 81 of P.L.2015, c.19 (C.5:10A-69 through C.5:10A-81), the commission recognizes that: (1) those fees supplement, but do not replace, the public investment needed in the transportation system; (2) the costs of remedying pre-existing problems shall not be charged to a new development; (3) the fee charged to any particular development shall be reasonably related to the impact of that development on the transportation system of the district and shall not exceed the development's fair share of the cost of the improvements and related allowable administrative costs; and (4) no development shall be subject to any assessment or fees for transportation improvements by the State, a county, or a municipality, except as provided pursuant to sections 69 through 81 of P.L.2015, c.19 (C.5:10A-69 through C.5:10A-81). In determining the basis for assessing development fees, the commission shall develop reasonable formulas that rely on established planning models. f. The creation of a transportation planning district shall be accompanied by the development of strategies to improve regional comprehensive planning, to encourage transportation-efficient land uses, to reduce automobile dependency, to improve pedestrian and bicyclist safety, and to encourage alternatives to peak-hour automobile trips.

Legislative findings and declarations
Status: in_force

The Legislature hereby finds and declares that the general welfare of the people of the State will be promoted by the advancement of horse racing facilities in the State; that it is vital to State Government that the revenues derived from parimutuel betting on horse race meetings at racetracks in the State be continued; that ownership and operation of racetracks for horse racing by a State agency would protect against a loss of revenue to the State and assure the financial stability of the racetracks and availability of capital to repair, reconstruct and restore damaged or destroyed facilities thereof and to provide improvements and additions thereto; that the advancement and retention of the horse racing and related activities in the State will not only provide recreational opportunities for the people of the State but will also benefit the people in the form of increased commerce and employment. The Legislature has determined that in order to accomplish such purposes and goals, it is necessary and desirable to authorize the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority to immediately acquire and operate the Garden State Racetrack facility, its contiguous properties and auxiliary facilities. The Legislature further finds that the powers conferred by this act and the expenditure of public moneys pursuant hereto will serve a valid public purpose and that the enactment of the provisions hereinafter set forth is in the public interest and is hereby so declared to be such as a matter of express legislative determination.

N.J. Stat. § 5:5-94 — NJ Code / Title 5 / Chapter 5 / Section 5-94
Legislative findings
Status: in_force

The Legislature finds and declares: a. The destruction by fire of the Garden State Racetrack in the spring of 1977 was a severe blow to the economic well-being of the area surrounding the racetrack and of the larger South Jersey area, most importantly because of the loss of jobs directly and indirectly connected with the operation of the racetrack and the serving of its patrons. b. The demise of the racetrack has also hurt the State because of the loss of revenue to the State generated by attendance at the racetrack and has harmed the racing industry in the State because of an insufficient number of tracks to establish a successful year-round circuit for thoroughbred racing. c. It is vitally important that the Garden State Racetrack be reopened as soon as possible so that the economic benefits of an operating track and its attendant service industries will once again flow into the area--and to the State as a whole. d. It is desirable to accomplish this reopening through the private sector rather than through a governmental authority, and in order to do so, it is justifiable to offer a private buyer economic advantages and encouragement so that such a buyer will make the initial sizeable capital investment necessary to rebuild the track and will make the continuing expenditures necessary for a successful racetrack operation. e. Precedent already exists for recognizing the particular financial problems and needs of individual racetracks and addressing those problems and needs, namely, by allowing a thoroughbred racetrack that receives an average daily parimutuel handle of $1 million or less to pay less in revenue to the State than a track with a daily handle of more than $1 million, and by allowing a thoroughbred track with a daily handle of more than $1 million to retain for its own use an additional 1% out of the State's share of the handle when that track faces competition from a harness track during the summer months.

Findings, declarations relative to State lottery contributions.
Status: in_force

2. The Legislature finds and declares that: a. The State Lottery, as established by and operated pursuant to Article IV, Section VII, paragraph 2 of the Constitution of the State of New Jersey and the "State Lottery Law," P.L.1970, c.13 (C.5:9-1 et seq.), is a valuable asset of the State of New Jersey. b. The Lottery Enterprise has been and is a business-like entity, consisting of all of the assets, properties, interests, and rights of every nature and kind, tangible and intangible, of the State useful or necessary to operate the State Lottery. c. The Division of the State Lottery in the Department of the Treasury is constantly evolving the brand, marketing, and game offerings of the Lottery Enterprise in order to retain existing players and attract new ones. d. The Lottery Enterprise, as operated by the Division of the State Lottery, is recognized as one of the most profitable and well-operated lotteries in the United States and the world. The division operates the Lottery Enterprise in a manner that is consonant with the dignity of the State and general welfare of its people, as demonstrated by the division having earned the highest level of achievement in responsible gaming, and having received the Best Innovation in Responsible Gambling Award from the World Lottery Association in November 2016. e. The continued operation, management, conduct, and control of the Lottery Enterprise by the Division of the State Lottery is necessary for the Lottery Enterprise to remain operating at these high standards, consistent with the "State Lottery Law," P.L.1970, c.13 (C.5:9-1 et seq.), and with applicable federal law. f. The Teachers' Pension and Annuity Fund, the Public Employees' Retirement System, and the Police and Firemen's Retirement System are established as qualified governmental defined benefit plans pursuant to sections 401(a) and 414(d) of the federal Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (26 U.S.C. ss.401(a) and 414(d)), as amended, and exempt under section 501(a) of the federal Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (26 U.S.C. s.501(a)), as amended, and such other provision of the federal Internal Revenue Code, as applicable, regulations of the United States Department of the Treasury, and other guidance of the federal Internal Revenue Service, and this act, P.L.2017, c.98 (C.5:9-22.5 et al.). The contribution of the Lottery Enterprise to these retirement systems is intended to comply with all requirements of the federal Internal Revenue Code governing the tax qualified status of the retirement systems, and this act shall at all times be applied and construed in a manner consistent with all such requirements. g. The members of the Teachers' Pension and Annuity Fund are serving or have served as teachers, educators, and administrators in the schools of this State and are eligible members of the retirement system, and contributing the Lottery Enterprise for their benefit pursuant to this act constitutes State aid for education within the meaning of Article IV, Section VII, paragraph 2 of the State Constitution. h. Some of the members of the Public Employees' Retirement System are serving or have served as employees of State institutions defined in R.S.30:1-7, but excluding adult or juvenile correctional facilities or institutions, or are serving or have served as employees of public institutions of higher education, and are eligible members of the retirement system, and contributing the Lottery Enterprise for their benefit pursuant to this act constitutes support for State institutions and State aid for education within the meaning of Article IV, Section VII, paragraph 2 of the State Constitution. i. Some of the members of the Police and Firemen's Retirement System are serving or have served as employees of State institutions defined in R.S.30:1-7, but excluding adult or juvenile correctional facilities or institutions, or are serving or have served as employees of public institutions of higher education, and are eligible members of the retirement system, and contributing the Lottery Enterprise for their benefit pursuant to this act constitutes support for State institutions and State aid for education within the meaning of Article IV, Section VII, paragraph 2 of the State Constitution. j. The New Jersey Supreme Court has recognized the compelling need for action to solve the tenuous state of New Jersey's pension funding, observing that "the State must get its financial house in order." k. The New Jersey Pension and Health Benefit Study Commission emphasized the dire condition of the public employee pension systems, which continues to be a matter of grave concern for public employees, retirees, their families, and all of the residents of this State. The commission found that "by any measure, the amount of the unfunded liability is grievous." l. The contribution of the Lottery Enterprise to the retirement systems pursuant to and in the manner contemplated by this act is in the public interest in alleviating the underfunded status of such retirement systems. m. The State, pursuant to a competitive process, engaged an independent valuation service provider to conduct a review and due diligence of the Lottery Enterprise, including its cash flows, operating history, legal structure, and projections, and the independent valuation service provider issued a report which represents its opinion as to the valuation of the Lottery Enterprise. n. The allocable percentages established in section 5 of this act were determined based on: (1) the relative percentages of the total actuarial accrued liabilities of the retirement systems; (2) the relative percentages of the total actuarial accrued liabilities of the eligible member portions of such retirement systems; (3) the relative percentages of the total unfunded actuarially accrued liabilities of the retirement systems; (4) the relative percentages of the total unfunded actuarially accrued liabilities of the eligible member portions of such retirement systems; (5) the relative percentages of the total number of members in each retirement system; and (6) the relative percentages of eligible members participating in each such retirement system. o. Following the lottery contribution, the Division of the State Lottery will operate, manage, conduct, and control the Lottery Enterprise with a goal of maximizing net proceeds for the benefit of the retirement systems, consonant with the dignity of the State and general welfare of its people.
