Compact committee, powers and duties, voting, administration and management, immunity.

5. Compact committee, powers and duties, voting, administration and management, immunity. a. There is hereby created an interstate governmental entity to be known as the "compact committee," which shall be comprised of one official from the racing commission, or its equivalent, in each party state who shall be appointed, serve and be subject to removal in accordance with the laws of the party state the official represents. Pursuant to the laws of the respective party state, each official shall have the assistance of the party state's racing commission, or the equivalent thereof, in considering issues related to licensing participants in live racing and in fulfilling the official's responsibilities as the representative from the party state to the compact committee. If an official is unable to perform any duty in connection with the powers and duties of the compact committee, the racing commission, or equivalent thereof, from the respective party state shall designate another of its members as an alternate who shall serve in the original official's place and represent the party state as its official on the compact committee until that racing commission, or equivalent thereof, determines that the original representative official is able once again to perform the official's duties as that party state's representative official on the compact committee. The designation of an alternate shall be communicated by the affected state's racing commission, or equivalent thereof, to the compact committee as the committee's bylaws may provide. b. In order to carry out the purposes of this compact, the compact committee is hereby granted the power and duty to: (1) Determine which categories of participants in live parimutuel racing, including but not limited to owners, trainers, jockeys, drivers, grooms, mutuel clerks, racing officials, veterinarians, farriers and others, should be licensed by the committee, and establish the requirements for the initial licensure of applicants in each such category, the term of the license for each category, and the requirements for renewal of licenses in each category. Provided, however, that with regard to all licensure requirements, including requests for criminal history record information, the effect of a criminal record on the issuance or renewal of a license, and with regard to the weight given to information relevant to an applicant's character or integrity in determining the issuance or renewal of a license, the compact committee shall determine for each category of participants in live racing which licensure requirements for that category are, in its judgment, the most restrictive licensure requirements of any party state for that category and shall adopt licensure requirements for that category that are, in its judgment, comparable to those most restrictive requirements. (2) Investigate applicants for a license from the compact committee and, as permitted by federal and state law, gather information on such applicants, including criminal history record information from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and relevant state and local law enforcement agencies, and, where appropriate, from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and law enforcement agencies of other countries, necessary to determine whether a license should be issued or renewed under the licensure requirements established by the committee as provided in paragraph 1 of this subsection. Only officials on, and employees of, the compact committee may receive and review such criminal history record information, and those officials and employees may use that information only for the purposes of this compact. The fingerprints of each applicant for a license from the compact committee shall be taken by the compact committee, its employees, or its designee and, pursuant to Public Law 92-544 or Public Law 100-413, shall be forwarded to a state identification bureau, or to an association of state officials regulating parimutuel wagering designated by the Attorney General of the United States, for submission to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for a criminal history record check. Such fingerprints may be submitted on a fingerprint card or by electronic or other means authorized by the Federal Bureau of Investigation or other receiving law enforcement agency. (3) Issue licenses to, and renew the licenses of, participants in live racing listed in paragraph 1 of this subsection who are found by the committee to have met the licensure and renewal requirements established by the committee. The compact committee shall not have the power or authority to deny a license. If it determines that an applicant will not be eligible for the issuance or renewal of a compact committee license, the compact committee shall notify the applicant that it will not be able to process the application further. Such notification does not constitute and shall not be considered to be the denial of a license. Any such applicant shall have the right to present additional evidence to, and to be heard by, the compact committee, but the final decision on issuance or renewal of the license shall be made by the compact committee using the requirements established pursuant to paragraph 1 of this subsection. (4) Enter into contracts or agreements with governmental agencies and with non-governmental persons to provide personal services for its activities and such other services as may be necessary to effectuate the purposes of this compact. (5) Create, appoint, and abolish those offices, employments, and positions, including an executive director, as it deems necessary for the purposes of this compact, prescribe their powers, duties and qualifications, hire persons to fill those offices, employments and positions, and provide for the removal, term, tenure, compensation, fringe benefits, retirement benefits and other conditions of employment of its officers, employees and other positions. (6) Borrow, accept, or contract for the services of personnel from any state, the United States, or any other governmental agency, or from any person, firm, association, corporation or other entity. (7) Acquire, hold, and dispose of real and personal property by gift, purchase, lease, license, or in other similar manner, in furtherance of the purposes of this compact. (8) Charge a fee to each applicant for an initial license or renewal of a license. (9) Receive other funds through gifts, grants and appropriations. c. (1) Each official shall be entitled to one vote on the compact committee. (2) All action taken by the compact committee with regard to the addition of party states as provided in subsection a. of section 4 of P.L.2006, c.4 (C.5:5-164), the licensure of participants in live racing, and the receipt and disbursement of funds shall require a majority vote of the total number of officials, or their alternates, on the committee. All other action by the compact committee shall require a majority vote of those officials, or their alternates, present and voting. (3) No action of the compact committee may be taken unless a quorum is present. A majority of the officials, or their alternates, on the compact committee shall constitute a quorum. d. (1) The compact committee shall elect annually from among its members a chairman, a vice-chairman, and a secretary/treasurer. (2) The compact committee shall adopt bylaws for the conduct of its business by a two-thirds vote of the total number of officials, or their alternates, on the committee at that time and shall have the power by the same vote to amend and rescind these bylaws. The committee shall publish its bylaws in convenient form and shall file a copy thereof and a copy of any amendments thereto with the secretary of the state, or equivalent agency, of each of the party states. (3) The compact committee may delegate the day-to-day management and administration of its duties and responsibilities to an executive director and his support staff. (4) Employees of the compact committee shall be considered governmental employees. e. No official of a party state or employee of the compact committee shall be held personally liable for any good faith act or omission that occurs during the performance and within the scope of his responsibilities and duties under this compact.

The division shall, by regulation, provide for the establishment of a list of persons who are to be excluded or ejected from any licensed casino establishment. Such provisions shall define the standards for exclusion, and shall include standards relating to persons: (1) Who are career or professional offenders as defined by regulations promulgated hereunder; (2) Who have been convicted of a criminal offense under the laws of any state or of the United States, which is punishable by more than six months in prison, or any crime or offense involving moral turpitude; or (3) Whose presence in a licensed casino hotel would, in the opinion of the director, be inimical to the interest of the State of New Jersey or of licensed gaming therein, or both. The division shall promulgate definitions establishing those categories of persons who shall be excluded pursuant to this section, including cheats and persons whose privileges for licensure or registration have been revoked. b. Race, color, creed, national origin or ancestry, or sex shall not be a reason for placing the name of any person upon such list. c. The division may impose sanctions upon a licensed casino or individual licensee or registrant in accordance with the provisions of this act if such casino or individual licensee or registrant knowingly fails to exclude or eject from the premises of any licensed casino any person placed by the division on the list of persons to be excluded or ejected. d. Any list compiled by the division of persons to be excluded or ejected shall not be deemed an all-inclusive list, and licensed casino establishments shall have a duty to keep from their premises persons known to them to be within the classifications declared in paragraphs (1) and (2) of subsection a. of this section and the regulations promulgated thereunder, or known to them to be persons whose presence in a licensed casino hotel would be inimical to the interest of the State of New Jersey or of licensed gaming therein, or both, as defined in standards established by the division. e. Prior to placing the name of any person on a list pursuant to this section, the division shall serve notice of such fact to such person by personal service, by certified mail at the last known address of such person, or by publication daily for one week in a newspaper of general circulation in Atlantic City. f. Within 30 days after service of the petition in accordance with subsection e. of this section, the person named for exclusion or ejection may demand a hearing before the director or the director's designee, at which hearing the director or the director's designee shall have the affirmative obligation to demonstrate by a preponderance of the evidence that the person named for exclusion or ejection satisfies the criteria for exclusion established by this section and the applicable regulations. Failure to demand such a hearing within 30 days after service shall be deemed an admission of all matters and facts alleged in the director's petition and shall preclude a person from having an administrative hearing, but shall in no way affect his or her right to judicial review as provided herein. g. The division may make a preliminary placement on the list of a person named in a petition for exclusion or ejection pending completion of a hearing on the petition. The hearing on the application for preliminary placement shall be a limited proceeding at which the division shall have the affirmative obligation to demonstrate that there is a reasonable possibility that the person satisfies the criteria for exclusion established by this section and the applicable regulations. If a person has been placed on the list as a result of an application for preliminary placement, unless otherwise agreed by the director and the named person, a hearing on the petition for exclusion or ejection shall be initiated within 30 days after the receipt of a demand for such hearing or the date of preliminary placement on the list, whichever is later. h. If, upon completion of the hearing on the petition for exclusion or ejection, the director determines that the person named therein does not satisfy the criteria for exclusion established by this section and the applicable regulations, the director shall issue an order denying the petition.

The Casino Reinvestment Development Authority shall invest any moneys so received as provided in subsection m. of section 13 of this 1984 amendatory and supplementary act until such time as the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority determines what projects it will invest in or what other investments it will make and issues its bonds to the licensees to finance those projects or investments. c. Except as may be otherwise expressly provided herein or by the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority, every issue of bonds shall be general obligations payable out of any moneys or revenues of the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority, subject only to any agreements with the holders of particular bonds pledging any particular moneys or revenues, but interest on the bonds shall not be payable out of proceeds of bonds issued by the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority.

Notwithstanding the provisions of section 19 of this 1984 amendatory and supplementary act, if, however, for bonds issued by the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority to satisfy the requirements of subsection b. of section 3 of this 1984 amendatory and supplementary act, either (1) the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority, pursuant to section 17 of this 1984 amendatory and supplementary act, consents, on any of its bonds being issued, to the inclusion of interest, or (2) the Internal Revenue Service determines that any of the interest on any of the bonds issued by the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority must be included in the gross income of holders of those bonds under the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended, or any subsequent federal law, to the same extent and in the same manner as the interest on bills, notes, bonds and other obligations of the United States, then those bonds issued by the authority shall bear interest at the rate of 66 2/3 of the average rate of Moody's A-rated Utility Index for bonds available for purchase during the last 26 weeks preceding the date the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority issues its bonds to a licensee to satisfy the requirements of subsection b. of section 3 of this 1984 amendatory and supplementary act.

Whether or not bonds of the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority are of the form and character as to be negotiable instruments under the terms of Title 12A of the New Jersey Statutes, the bonds are made negotiable instruments within the meaning of and for all the purposes of Title 12A of the New Jersey Statutes, subject only to the provisions of the bonds for registration. g. Bonds of the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority may be sold at prices as the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority shall determine. Bonds of the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority may be sold at less than the current market rate of return but not less than the rate specified in subsection c. of this section. h. Bonds may be issued by the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority under the provisions of this act, without obtaining the consent of any department, division, commission, board, bureau or other agency of the State, and without any other proceedings or the happening of any other conditions or things other than those proceedings, conditions or things which are specifically required by this act. i. Bonds of the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority issued under the provisions of this act shall not be in any way a debt or liability of the State or of any political subdivision thereof other than the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority and shall not create or constitute any indebtedness, liability or obligation of the State or of any of its political subdivisions or be or constitute a pledge of the faith and credit of the State or of any of its political subdivisions, but all the bonds, unless funded or refunded by bonds, shall be payable solely from revenues or funds pledged or available for their payment as authorized in this act. Each bond shall contain on its face a statement to the effect that the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority is obligated to pay the principal thereof or in interest thereon only from revenues or funds of the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority, that neither the State nor any political subdivision thereof is obligated to pay the principal or interest, and that neither the faith and credit nor the taxing power of the State or any political subdivision thereof is pledged in the payment of the principal of or the interest on the bonds. j. As an alternative to bonds issued by the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority, the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority may, in its sole discretion, offer for purchase by licensees bonds of the State of New Jersey, any political subdivision thereof, or any authority created by the State or any political subdivision thereof, as a means of fulfilling any investment obligation required of a licensee, provided those bonds fulfill the purposes of the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority and are in accordance with the requirements established pursuant to this section. A licensee may purchase such bonds through the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority only after approval by and in the sole discretion of the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority. k. All expenses incurred in carrying out the provisions of this act shall be payable solely from revenues or funds provided or to be provided under the provisions of this act and nothing in this act shall be construed to authorize the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority to incur any indebtedness or liability on behalf of or payable by the State or any political subdivision thereof.

Findings, declarations relative to the "Hackensack Meadowlands Agency Consolidation Act."
Status: in_force

2. The Legislature finds and declares that: a. The New Jersey Meadowlands Commission is currently the zoning and planning agency for a 30.4 square-mile area covering parts of 14 municipalities in Bergen and Hudson Counties in New Jersey. The New Jersey Meadowlands Commission, created in 1969, was charged with the development and redevelopment of the Hackensack Meadowlands in an orderly and comprehensive fashion, with special consideration to the ecological and environment challenges facing the Hackensack Meadowlands. b. During the past 45 years, the New Jersey Meadowlands Commission has successfully provided for orderly comprehensive development, solid waste management, and environmental protection within the Hackensack Meadowlands, as well as guiding the investment of tens of millions of dollars in development, municipal services, and significant infrastructure projects, among other things. c. There are several vital components necessary for the continuation and expansion of the comprehensive plan for the economic development growth of the Hackensack Meadowlands. Among them are infrastructure improvements, transportation, tourism, the completion of the development of the sport complex site, the delivery of municipal services, flood control, and the continuance of the Intermunicipal Tax Sharing Program, which is the fiscal underpinning of the district's master plan. d. The New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority has promoted the holding of athletic contests, horse racing, and other spectator sporting events, trade shows, and other expositions in the State. e. The 750 acres of the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority complex in the Hackensack Meadowlands is a significant economic stimulant to the development of the meadowlands. The New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority's ability to plan, construct, and maintain its holdings in the sports complex has been an extraordinary feat, making it a premier sporting facility. f. It is also appropriate and necessary to recognize the consistent impact of the Hackensack Meadowlands on tourist related activities and development, including retail, sports, and entertainment venues constructed at New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority properties with support from private investment. g. The authority and powers of the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority and the New Jersey Meadowlands Commission should be reviewed and amended to reflect the issues of the day so as to adequately address the evolving economic and environmental issues in the Hackensack Meadowlands. h. In order to more effectively address the modern needs of the Hackensack Meadowlands, the Legislature finds that the two agencies with the common interest of promoting the economic growth of the meadowlands and northern New Jersey, the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority and the New Jersey Meadowlands Commission, should be consolidated to promote efficiency of operation, cost effectiveness, and the elimination of unnecessary government bureaucracy. i. Nothing in P.L.2015, c.19 (C.5:10A-1 et al.) is intended to revise, limit, or nullify the rights of the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority under the provisions of P.L.1971, c.137 (C.5:10-1 et seq.) or other applicable laws. In the case of any conflict between P.L.1971, c.137 (C.5:10-1 et seq.) and the provisions of P.L.1968, c.404 (C.13:17-1 et seq.) or P.L.1971, c.137 (C.5:10-1 et seq.) and P.L.2015, c.19 (C.5:10A-1 et al.), the provisions of P.L.1971, c.137 (C.5:10-1 et seq.) shall control. j. Except as expressly provided in P.L.2015, c.19 (C.5:10A-1 et al.) nothing is intended to revise, limit, or nullify the rights of the New Jersey Meadowlands Commission under P.L.1968, c.404 (C.13:17-1 et seq.). In the case of any conflict between P.L.1968, c.404 (C.13:17-1 et seq.) and the provisions of P.L.2015, c.19 (C.5:10A-1 et al.) the provisions of P.L.2015, c.19 (C.5:10A-1 et al.) shall control. k. Notwithstanding anything in P.L.2015, c.19 (C.5:10A-1 et al.) to the contrary, sections 8 through 16, 18, 23, 24, 25, 29 through 48, and 74 of P.L.2015, c.19 (C.5:10A-1 et al.) shall not apply to the sports complex or adversely affect the rights, benefits, entitlements, contracts, agreements, liabilities, responsibilities, or obligations upon existing developers or ground tenants within the sports complex or any other project of the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority, wherever located, as of the date of enactment of P.L.2015, c.19 (C.5:10A-1 et al.), and with respect to the sports complex, the rights and powers of the commission shall only be those set forth in P.L.1971, c.137 (C.5:10-1 et seq.).

In lieu of an administrative proceeding or an action in the Superior Court, the Attorney General may bring an action in the name of the control commission for the collection or enforcement of civil penalties for the violation of any provision of a law or regulation administered by the control commission. Such action may be brought in a summary manner pursuant to "the penalty enforcement law" (N.J.S.2A:58-1 et seq.) and the rules of court governing actions for the collection of civil penalties in the municipal court or Superior Court where the offense occurred. Process in such action may be a summons or warrant and in the event that the defendant in such action fails to answer such action, the court shall, upon finding an unlawful action, conduct or practice to have been committed by the defendant, issue a warrant for the defendant's arrest in order to bring such person before the court to satisfy the civil penalties imposed. In any action commenced pursuant to this section, the court may order restored to any person in interest any monies or property, real or personal, acquired by means of an unlawful action, conduct or practice.

All bonds or notes issued pursuant to this act are hereby declared to be issued by a body corporate and public of the State and for an essential public and governmental purpose and such bonds and notes, and the interest thereon and the income therefrom, and all funds, revenues, income and other moneys received or to be received by the authority and pledged or available to pay or secure the payment of such bonds or notes, or interest thereon, shall at all times be exempt from taxation except for transfer, inheritance and estate taxes. b. To the end that there does not occur an undue loss of future tax revenues by reason of this act, the authority annually shall make payments in-lieu-of-taxes to the municipality in which such property is located in an amount computed in each year with respect to each such municipality by multiplying the total amount to be raised by real property taxation in each such year by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of real property taxes assessed in 1977 against the property acquired by the authority and the denominator of which is the total amount which was raised by real property taxation in such municipality in 1977, provided however that the amount of the in-lieu-of-taxes payments shall not be less than the amount received by the municipality in 1977 from the Garden State Race Track. In addition, the authority annually shall pay to the municipality $26,000.00 which sum shall be increased proportionately for each day of racing over the number conducted at Garden State Race Track in 1976. In addition, the authority shall reimburse Cherry Hill for reasonable, itemized expenses incurred by Cherry Hill at the request of the authority for services formerly provided by agreement between Cherry Hill and the Garden State Racing Association, plus itemized reasonable charges at cost to Cherry Hill for services provided at the request of the authority during additional racing days over 100 as agreed to by the authority and Cherry Hill.

In addition, each applicant shall, in writing, authorize the examination of all bank accounts and records as may be deemed necessary by the commission or the division. The commission or the division may consider any relevant evidence of financial stability; provided, however, it is presumed that a casino licensee or applicant is financially stable if it establishes by clear and convincing evidence that it meets each of the following standards: (1) The ability to assure the financial integrity of casino operations by the maintenance of a casino bankroll or equivalent provisions adequate to pay winning wagers to casino patrons when due. A casino licensee or applicant shall be presumed to have met this standard if it maintains, on a daily basis, a casino bankroll, or a casino bankroll and equivalent provisions, in an amount which is at least equal to the average daily minimum casino bankroll or equivalent provisions, calculated on a monthly basis, for the corresponding month in the previous year. For any casino licensee or applicant which has been in operation for less than a year, such amount shall be determined by the division based upon levels maintained by a comparable casino licensee; (2) The ability to meet ongoing operating expenses which are essential to the maintenance of continuous and stable casino operations. A casino licensee or applicant shall be presumed to have met this standard if it demonstrates the ability to achieve positive gross operating profit, measured on an annual basis; (3) The ability to pay, as and when due, all local, state and federal taxes, including the tax on gross revenues imposed by subsection a. of section 144 of P.L.1977, c.110 (C.5:12-144), the investment alternative tax obligations imposed by subsection b. of section 144 of P.L.1977, c.110 (C.5:12-144) and section 3 of P.L.1984, c.218 (C.5:12-144.1), the payment in lieu of property taxes imposed by P.L.2016, c.5 (C.52:27BBBB-18 et al.), and any fees imposed by the act or the regulations promulgated pursuant thereto; (4) The ability to make necessary capital expenditures in a timely manner which are adequate to ensure a superior, first-class facility of exceptional quality pursuant to subsection i. of section 83 of P.L.1977, c.110 (C.5:12-83). A casino licensee or applicant shall be presumed to have met this standard if it demonstrates that its capital expenditures, over the immediately preceding five calendar years, average at least five percent of net revenue, except that any casino licensee or applicant which has been in operation for less than five years shall be required to otherwise establish compliance with this standard to the division; and (5) The ability to pay, exchange, refinance or extend debts, including long-term and short-term principal and interest and capital lease obligations, which will mature or otherwise come due and payable during the license term, or to otherwise manage such debts and any default with respect to such debts. The division also may require that a casino licensee or applicant advise as to its plans to meet this standard with respect to any material debts coming due and payable within 12 months after the end of the license term. b.

If the applicant has conducted gaming operations in a jurisdiction which permits such activity, the applicant shall produce letters of reference from the gaming or casino enforcement or control agency which shall specify the experiences of such agency with the applicant, his associates, and his gaming operation; provided, however, that if no such letters are received within 60 days of request therefor, the applicant may submit a statement under oath that he is or was during the period such activities were conducted in good standing with such gaming or casino enforcement or control agency. d. Each applicant shall produce such information, documentation and assurances as may be required to establish by clear and convincing evidence that the applicant has sufficient business ability and casino experience as to establish the likelihood of creation and maintenance of a successful, efficient casino operation. The applicant shall produce the names of all proposed casino key employees as they become known and a description of their respective or proposed responsibilities. e.

Profits.
Status: in_force

147. a. For the purposes of the application of the provisions of section 146 of this act, "profits" referred to in section 146 a.(2) for any year means total profits from cumulative investments in Atlantic City. In computing profits under this section, a licensee shall deduct from the gross income of cumulative investments in Atlantic City all operating expenses in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. There shall be included in said operating expenses (1) all annual payments pursuant to section 146 a.(1) of this act; (2) property taxes in said municipality not subject to section 146; and (3) an annual amount sufficient to amortize in equal annual installments the total cost of the investment over the life of the improvements, which in no case shall be less than 25 years in the case of real property. There shall not be included in said operating expenses or in any other account (1) depreciation or obsolescence; (2) interest on debt; (3) taxes on income; (4) losses on bad debt instruments from gaming operations in excess of the lesser of such instruments actually uncollected or 4% of gross revenues; or (5) salaries, bonuses and other compensation paid, directly or indirectly, to directors, partners, officers, stockholders or other persons having any proprietary or ownership interest in the licensee. b. In any year during which gross income exceeds cumulative investments as defined in section 144 d. hereof, 50% of the profits, as herein defined, which exceed the amount equivalent to 20% of the cumulative investments in the municipality of a licensee who shall have entered into an agreement pursuant to the provisions of section 146 hereof for such year shall be retained in a separate interest-bearing account maintained by the Treasurer, which account shall be designated "Special Casino Retention Account." All amounts retained in such account with respect to a licensee for any year may be recaptured by the licensee, provided that (1) the average annual gross income for the tax year and the two immediately preceding years is less than the cumulative investments of the licensee in casino, hotel, or other facilities in the municipality or State; or (2) the licensee, within 5 years of the date its annual tax return under this act is due, shall make cumulative investments in such municipality which shall cause the total of such investments to exceed the average annual gross income for the tax year and the 2 immediately preceding years, and which are equal to or greater than the amount of profits, as herein defined, retained in such account for the tax year. c. In the event such licensee fails to make cumulative investments within the time specified as required for recapture of profits under this section, the profits retained in the Special Casino Retention Account shall be remitted to the Treasurer for deposit to the credit of the Casino Revenue Fund. d. For the purposes of this section, each annual return of such licensee shall reflect the profits, if appropriate, determined on the basis of the immediately preceding calendar year.

Findings, declarations relative to redevelopment in Atlantic City.
Status: in_force

1. The Legislature finds that the single most significant factor contributing to the cost of constructing, maintaining, operating and supporting highways, roads and infrastructure, in Atlantic City, and particularly in the "corridor" region of the city, is the heavy volume of motor vehicular traffic occasioned by the attraction of casino gambling in Atlantic City. This traffic is encouraged by the provision of free parking by casino operations, by the relative underdevelopment of public transportation services, and by the shortage of hotel accommodations in the city. While the Legislature has taken various measures, most notably the "South Jersey Transportation Authority Act," P.L.1991, c.252 (C.27:25A-1 et al.), to provide and improve public transportation services in the South Jersey region as an alternative to the use of motor vehicles, the heavy capital costs associated with reconstruction of the corridor region's infrastructure require a continuous source of public funding. The Legislature declares, therefore, that it is in the public interest to require a standard minimum charge for casino parking within Atlantic City, and to impose fees on amounts received from those charges, with the proceeds of those fees to be used by the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority for projects which are related to improving the highways, roads, infrastructure, traffic regulation and public safety of the city, or which are otherwise necessary or useful to the economic development and redevelopment of the city in this regard. It is also in the public interest to establish a special temporary fund for the use of existing moneys of the authority for the provision of financial assistance to casino licensees to construct, reconstruct or rehabilitate hotel rooms in Atlantic City. The Legislature declares that it is the public purpose of this amendatory act, P.L.1996, c.118 (C.5:12-173.3a et al.), that financial assistance to casino licensees to construct, reconstruct or rehabilitate hotel rooms in Atlantic City shall be determined after excluding costs reasonably related to space used for the conduct of casino gaming. It was, and continues to be, the public purpose of P.L.1993, c.159 (C.5:12-173.1 et seq.) that financial assistance may be provided to a project which includes, incorporates, facilitates or supports space used for the conduct of casino gaming in a casino hotel facility, but only for costs reasonably related to hotel rooms and their appurtenant facilities in the project. The Legislature declares that it is the public purpose of this amendatory and supplementary act, P.L.2003, c.116 (C.5:12-148.1 et al.), that the proceeds of the increase in the fee imposed on the minimum charge for casino hotel parking within Atlantic City be deposited into the Casino Revenue Fund in State fiscal years 2004 through 2006, in order to assist the Casino Revenue Fund, and thereafter for use for the purposes specified.

Subsequent to the registration of a casino employee, the director may revoke, suspend, limit, or otherwise restrict the registration upon a finding that the registrant is disqualified on the basis of the criteria contained in section 86 of P.L.1977, c.110 (C.5:12-86). If a casino employee registrant has not been employed in any position within a casino hotel facility for a period of three years, the registration of that casino employee shall lapse. c. (Deleted by amendment, P.L.2011, c.19) d. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection b. of this section, no casino employee registration shall be revoked on the basis of a conviction of any of the offenses enumerated in this act as disqualification criteria or the commission of any act or acts which would constitute any offense under subsection c. of section 86 of P.L.1977, c.110 (C.5:12-86), as specified in subsection g. of that section, provided that the registrant has affirmatively demonstrated the registrant's rehabilitation. In determining whether the registrant has affirmatively demonstrated the registrant's rehabilitation the director shall consider the following factors: (1) The nature and duties of the registrant's position; (2) The nature and seriousness of the offense or conduct; (3) The circumstances under which the offense or conduct occurred; (4) The date of the offense or conduct; (5) The age of the registrant when the offense or conduct was committed; (6) Whether the offense or conduct was an isolated or repeated incident; (7) Any social conditions which may have contributed to the offense or conduct; (8) Any evidence of rehabilitation, including good conduct in prison or in the community, counseling or psychiatric treatment received, acquisition of additional academic or vocational schooling, successful participation in correctional work-release programs, or the recommendation of persons who have or have had the registrant under their supervision. e.

The registrant shall bear the cost for the criminal history record background check, including all costs of administering and processing the check. The Division of State Police shall promptly notify the division in the event a current or prospective licensee, who was the subject of a criminal history record background check pursuant to this section, is arrested for a crime or offense in this State after the date the background check was performed. h. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection b. of this section, or any other law, rule, or regulation to the contrary, the division may issue a casino employee registration to, and shall not be required to revoke the registration of, any applicant who would otherwise be disqualified on the basis of the criteria contained in subsection c. of section 86 of P.L.1977, c.110 (C.5:12-86), if that applicanthas been sentenced to, and successfully discharged from, a term of special probation as provided under N.J.S.2C:35-14 for the conviction of an offense involving a controlled dangerous substance, an imitation controlled dangerous substance, or a controlled substance analog or if the applicant has been convicted of a third or fourth degree offense involving a controlled dangerous substance, an imitation controlled dangerous substance, or a controlled substance analog and has completed serving the sentence imposed for that crime, including any term of parole supervision.
