Corporate applicants for and holders of casino licenses shall be required to establish and maintain the qualifications of the following: (1) each officer of the corporation; (2) each director of the corporation; (3) each person who directly or indirectly holds any beneficial interest or ownership of the securities issued by such applicant or holder; (4) any holder who in the opinion of the director has the ability to control the applicant for or holder of a casino license or to elect a majority of the board of directors of such applicant or holder; and (5) each holding, intermediary or subsidiary company of an applicant for or holder of a casino license. c. As to each holding, intermediary and subsidiary company of an applicant for or holder of a casino license, such applicants and holders shall be required to establish and maintain the qualifications of the following: (1) each Corporate Officer; (2) each director of the corporation; (3) each person who directly or indirectly holds a beneficial interest or ownership interest of 5% or more in such holding, intermediary or subsidiary company; (4) any person who in the opinion of the director has the ability to control or elect a majority of the board of directors of such holding, intermediary or subsidiary company; and (5) any other person who the director may consider appropriate for qualification. d. The director shall have the authority to waive any or all of the qualification requirements for any person listed in paragraph (1), (2) or (3) of subsection c. of this section. e. Applicants for and holders of casino licenses shall be required to establish and maintain the qualifications of any financial backer, investor, mortgagee, bondholder, or holders of indentures, notes or other evidences of indebtedness, either in effect or proposed which bears relation to the casino operation or casino hotel premises who holds 25% or more of such financial instruments or evidences of indebtedness; provided however in circumstances of default, any person holding 10% of such financial instruments or evidences of indebtedness shall be required to establish and maintain his qualifications as required pursuant to subsection c. of this section. The director may, in his discretion, require that any other financial backer, investor, mortgagee, bondholder, or holder of indentures, notes or other evidences of indebtedness who does not meet the threshold set forth herein to establish and maintain his qualifications as required pursuant to subsection c. of this section. f. Banks and licensed lending institutions shall be exempt from any qualification requirements under this act if such bank or licensed lending institution is acting in the ordinary course of business. g. An institutional investor holding either (1) under 25% of the equity securities of a casino licensee's holding or intermediary companies, or (2) debt securities of a casino licensee's holding or intermediary companies, or another subsidiary company of a casino licensee's holding or intermediary companies which is related in any way to the financing of the casino licensee, where the securities represent a percentage of the outstanding debt of the company not exceeding 25%, or a percentage of any issue of the outstanding debt of the company not exceeding 50% unless the full issue is in the amount of $150 million or less, shall be granted a waiver of qualification if such securities are those of a corporation, whether publicly traded or privately held, and its holdings of such securities were purchased for investment purposes only and it files a certified statement to the effect that it has no intention of influencing or affecting the affairs of the issuer, the casino licensee or its holding or intermediary companies; provided, however, that it shall be permitted to vote on matters put to the vote of the outstanding security holders. The director may grant a waiver of qualification to an institutional investor holding a higher percentage of such securities upon a showing of good cause and if the conditions specified above are met. Any institutional investor granted a waiver under this subsection which subsequently determines to influence or affect the affairs of the issuer shall provide not less than 30 days' notice of such intent and shall file with the division an application for qualification before taking any action that may influence or affect the affairs of the issuer; provided, however, that it shall be permitted to vote on matters put to the vote of the outstanding security holders. If an institutional investor changes its investment intent, or if the director finds reasonable cause to believe that the institutional investor may be found unqualified, no action other than divestiture shall be taken by such investor with respect to its security holdings until there has been compliance with the provisions of P.L.1987, c.409 (C.5:12-95.12 et seq.), including the execution of a trust agreement.

Determination of investment or donation eligibility prior to adoption of rules and regulations; conditions
Status: in_force

a. Notwithstanding any other law or any other section of this 1984 amendatory and supplementary act to the contrary, a casino licensee may seek a determination of eligibility from the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority for an equity investment commenced or a donation made prior to the adoption by the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority of its rules and regulations pursuant to subsection h. of section 3 of P.L.1984, c. 218 (C. 5:12-144.1) if: (1) The application concerns an equity investment in, or donation of money or realty in support of, the rehabilitation, development or construction of housing facilities in the Inlet section of the city of Atlantic City for persons or families of low through middle income as defined and required by subsection f. of section 3 of P.L.1984, c. 218 (C. 5:12-144.1); (2) The Casino Reinvestment Development Authority finds that the investment or donation is consistent with the requirements of section 25 of P.L.1984, c. 218 (C. 5:12-173) and in particular, that the housing facilities which are the recipients of the investment or donation are compatible with the proposal for the development of a balanced residential community in the Inlet section of the city of Atlantic City approved and adopted by the Casino Control Commission; and (3) The licensee applies to the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority for a determination of eligibility for the investment or donation within 90 days of the adoption by the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority of its rules and regulations pursuant to subsection h. of section 3 of P.L.1984, c. 218 (C. 5:12-144.1), and subsequently obtains a determination of eligibility for the investment or donation in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority. b. Notwithstanding any other law or section of this 1984 amendatory and supplementary act to the contrary, a casino licensee may seek a determination of eligibility from the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority for an investment in, guarantee of, or a contractual commitment for an investment in or guarantee of infrastructure requirements, such as public roads, streets, intersections and sewer and water facilities, made prior to the adoption by the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority of its rules and regulations pursuant to subsection h. of section 3 of P.L.1984, c. 218 (C. 5:12-144.1) which are dedicated to the public use and benefit society as a whole. To the extent any such investment in or guarantee of infrastructure requirements exceeds the demand for such requirements created by an approved casino-hotel or related facility and thus does not finance infrastructure improvements required to be made by a casino licensee pursuant to subsection e. of section 84 of P.L.1977, c. 110 (C. 5:12-84), the excess investment or guarantee may, in the sole discretion of the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority, be considered an eligible investment or project if the authority finds that the investment or guarantee serves the most pressing social and economic needs of the residents of the city of Atlantic City and otherwise satisfies the requirements of section 25 of this 1984 amendatory and supplementary act. c. If a casino licensee obtains a determination of eligibility for an investment or donation pursuant to subsection a. or b. of this section, the investment or donation shall first be used to satisfy the licensee's most recently incurred investment obligation under subsection b. of section 144 of P.L.1977, c. 110 (C. 5:12-144). If the licensee has no outstanding investment obligations under subsection b. of section 144 of P.L.1977, c. 110 (C. 5:12-144) at the time the determination of eligibility is obtained, the licensee shall be entitled to an investment tax credit against the tax imposed by subsection a. of section 3 of P.L.1984, c. 218 (C. 5:12-144.1) in an amount equal to twice the amount of the eligible equity investment or donation made by the licensee.

Status: in_force

a. Upon the exercise of the power of eminent domain, the compensation to be paid thereunder shall be ascertained and paid in the manner provided in chapter 1 of Title 20 of the Revised Statutes insofar as the provisions thereof are applicable and not inconsistent with the provisions contained in this act. The authority may join in separate subdivisions in one petition or complaint the descriptions of any number of tracts or parcels of land or property to be condemned and the names of any number of owners and other parties who may have an interest therein and all such land or property included in said petition or complaint may be condemned in a single proceeding; provided, however, that separate awards be made for each tract or parcel of land or property; and provided further, that each of said tracts or parcels of land or property lies wholly in or has a substantial part of its value lying wholly within the same county. b. Upon the filing of such petition or complaint or at any time thereafter the authority may file with the clerk of the county in which such property is located and also with the Clerk of the Superior Court a declaration of taking, signed by the authority declaring that possession of one or more of the tracts or parcels of land or property described in the petition or complaint is thereby being taken by and for the use of the authority. The said declaration of taking shall be sufficient if it sets forth (1) a description of each tract or parcel of land or property to be so taken sufficient for the identification thereof to which there shall be attached a plan or map thereof; (2) a statement of the estate or interest in the said land or property being taken; (3) a statement of the sum of money estimated by the authority by resolution to be just compensation for the taking of the estate or interest in each tract or parcel of land or property described in said declaration; and (4) that, in compliance with the provisions of the act, the authority has established and is maintaining a trust fund as hereinafter provided. c. Upon the filing of the said declaration, the authority shall deposit with the Clerk of the Superior Court the amount of the estimated compensation stated in said declaration. In addition to the said deposits with the Clerk of the Superior Court the authority at all times shall maintain a special trust fund on deposit with a bank or trust company doing business in the State in an account at least equal to twice the aggregate amount deposited with the Clerk of the Superior Court as estimated compensation for all property described in declarations of taking with respect to which the compensation has not been finally determined and paid to the persons entitled thereto or into court. Said trust fund shall consist of cash or securities readily convertible into cash constituting legal investment for trust funds under the laws of the State. Said trust fund shall be held solely to secure and may be applied to the payment of just compensation for the land or other property described in such declarations of taking. The authority shall be entitled to withdraw from said trust fund from time to time so much as may then be in excess of twice the aggregate of the amount deposited with the Clerk of the Superior Court as estimated compensation for all property described in declarations of taking with respect to which the compensation has not been finally determined and paid to the persons entitled thereto or into court. d. Upon the filing of the said declaration as aforesaid and depositing with the Clerk of the Superior Court the amount of the estimated compensation stated in said declaration, the authority without other process or proceedings, shall be entitled to the exclusive possession and use of each tract of land or property described in said declaration and may forthwith enter into and take possession of said land or property, it being the intent of this provision that the proceedings for compensation or any other proceedings relating to the taking of said land or interest therein or other property shall not delay the taking of possession thereof and the use thereof by the authority for the purpose or purposes for which the authority is authorized by law to acquire or condemn such land or other property or interest therein. e. The authority shall cause notice of the filing of said declaration and the making of said deposit to be served upon each party in interest named in the petition residing in the State, either personally or by leaving a copy thereof at his residence, if known, and upon each party in interest residing out of the State, by mailing a copy thereof to him at his residence, if known. In the event that the residence of any such party or the name of such party is unknown, such notice shall be published at least once in a newspaper published or circulating in the county or counties in which the land is located. Such service, mailing or publication shall be made within 10 days after filing such declaration. Upon the application of any party in interest and after notice to other parties in interest, including the authority, any judge of the superior court assigned to sit for said county may order that the money deposited with the Clerk of the Superior Court or any part thereof be paid forthwith to the person or persons entitled thereto for or on account of the just compensation to be awarded in said proceeding; provided, that each such person shall have filed with the Clerk of the Superior Court a consent in writing that, in the event the award in the condemnation proceeding shall be less than the amount deposited, the court, after notice as herein provided and hearing, may determine his liability, if any, for the return of such difference or any part thereof and enter judgment therefor. If the amount of the award as finally determined shall exceed the amount so deposited, the person or persons to whom the award is payable shall be entitled to recover from the authority the difference between the amount of the deposit and the amount of the award, with interest at the then legal rate from the date of making the deposit. If the amount of the award shall be less than the amount so deposited, the Clerk of the Superior Court shall return the difference between the amount of the award and the deposit to the authority unless the amount of the deposit or any part thereof shall have theretofore been distributed, in which event the court, on petition of the authority and notice to all persons interested in the award and affording them an opportunity to be heard, shall enter judgment in favor of the authority for such difference against the party or parties liable for the return thereof. The authority shall cause notice of the date fixed for such hearing to be served upon each party thereto residing in the State either personally or by leaving a copy thereof at his residence, if known, and upon each party residing out of the State by mailing a copy to him at his residence, if known. In the event that the residence of any party or the name of such party is unknown, such notice shall be published at least once in a newspaper published or circulating in the county or counties in which the land is located. Such service, mailing or publication shall be made at least 10 days before the date fixed for such hearing. Whenever under chapter 1 of Title 20 of the Revised Statutes the amount of the award may be paid into court, payment may be made into the Superior Court and may be distributed according to law. The authority shall not abandon any condemnation proceeding subsequent to the date upon which it has taken possession of the land or property as herein provided. L.1971, c. 137, s. 9, eff.

The types of wagering takeout, distribution of winnings and rules of racing in effect for parimutuel pools at the sending racetrack shall govern wagers placed in this State and merged into the interstate common pool. Breakage for interstate common pools shall be calculated in accordance with the law or rules governing the sending racetrack and shall be distributed between participating jurisdictions in the manner agreed to between the receiving track and the out-of-State sending track. With the prior approval of the commission and the concurrence of the out-of-State sending track, a receiving track and receiving tracks or entities in other states other than the state in which the sending track is located may form an interstate common pool. With respect to such interstate common pools the commission may approve types of wagering, takeout, distribution of winnings, rules of racing and method of calculating breakage which are different from those which would otherwise be applied in this State but which are consistent for all parties to the interstate common pool. The receiving track may deduct from wagers placed in any interstate common pool any fee to the person or entity conducting the race for the privilege of conducting parimutuel wagering on the race and costs incurred in transmitting the broadcast of the race and participation in the interstate common pool. Any provision of law or contract governing the distribution of shares of the takeout, from wagers placed in this State in separate parimutuel pools on races run in another state, to this State as parimutuel taxes or respectively to breeder awards and to purses in this State shall remain in effect for wagers placed in interstate common pools. However, if the commission shall have approved an adjustment in the takeout rates, the distribution of the takeout within this State shall be adjusted proportionately to reflect the adjustment in the takeout rate. In addition, with the approval of the receiving track and the organization representing respectively a majority of the breeders or other horsepersons, their respective share may be modified.

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. (2) Each applicant for a casino key employee license shall produce such information, documentation and assurances as may be required to establish by clear and convincing evidence the applicant's good character, honesty and integrity. Such information shall include, without limitation, data pertaining to family, habits, character, reputation, criminal and arrest record, business activities, financial affairs, and business, professional and personal associates, covering at least the 10-year period immediately preceding the filing of the application. Each applicant shall notify the commission and the division of any civil judgments obtained against such applicant pertaining to antitrust or security regulation laws of the federal government, of this State or of any other state, jurisdiction, province or country. In addition, each applicant shall, upon request of the commission or the division, produce letters of reference from law enforcement agencies having jurisdiction in the applicant's place of residence and principal place of business, which letters of reference shall indicate that such law enforcement agencies do not have any pertinent information concerning the applicant, or if such law enforcement agency does have information pertaining to the applicant, shall specify what that information is. If the applicant has been associated with gaming or casino operations in any capacity, position or employment in a jurisdiction which permits such activity, the applicant shall, upon request of the commission or division, produce letters of reference from the gaming or casino enforcement or control agency, which shall specify the experience of such agency with the applicant, his associates and his participation in the gaming operations of that jurisdiction; provided, however, that if no such letters are received from the appropriate law enforcement agencies within 60 days of the applicant's 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. (3) (Deleted by amendment, P.L.1995, c.18.) (4) Each applicant employed by a casino licensee shall be a resident of the State of New Jersey prior to the issuance of a casino key employee license; provided, however, that upon petition by the holder of a casino license, the commission may waive this residency requirement for any applicant whose particular position will require him to be employed outside the State; and provided further that no applicant employed by a holding or intermediary company of a casino licensee shall be required to establish residency in this State. (5) For the purposes of this section, each applicant shall submit to the division the applicant's name, address, fingerprints and written consent for a criminal history record background check to be performed. The division is hereby authorized to exchange fingerprint data with and receive criminal history record information from the State Bureau of Identification in the Division of State Police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation consistent with applicable State and federal laws, rules and regulations. The applicant shall bear the cost for the criminal history record background check, including all costs of administering and processing the check. The Division of State Police shall promptly notify the division in the event a current or prospective 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. c. (Deleted by amendment, P.L.1995, c.18.) d. The commission shall deny a casino key employee license to any applicant who is disqualified on the basis of the criteria contained in section 86 of P.L.1977, c.110 (C.5:12-86). Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection, or any other law, rule, or regulation to the contrary, the commission may issue a casino key employee license to 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 applicant has 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 that 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 successfully completed a licensed drug treatment program within the Department of Corrections and has completed serving the sentence imposed for that crime, including any term of parole supervision. e. Upon petition by the holder of a casino license, the commission may issue a temporary license to an applicant for a casino key employee license, provided that: (1) The applicant for the casino key employee license has filed a completed application as required by the commission; (2) The division either certifies to the commission that the completed casino key employee license application as specified in paragraph (1) of this subsection has been in the possession of the division for at least 15 days or agrees to allow the commission to consider the application in some lesser time; (3) (Deleted by amendment, P.L.1995, c.18.) (4) The petition for a temporary casino key employee license certifies, and the commission finds, that an existing casino key employee position of the petitioner is vacant or will become vacant within 60 days of the date of the petition and that the issuance of a temporary key employee license is necessary to fill the said vacancy on an emergency basis to continue the efficient operation of the casino, and that such circumstances are extraordinary and not designed to circumvent the normal licensing procedures of this act; (5) The division does not object to the issuance of the temporary casino key employee license. Unless otherwise terminated pursuant to this act, any temporary casino key employee license issued pursuant to this subsection shall expire nine months from the date of its issuance.

A junket representative employed by a casino licensee, an applicant for a casino license or an affiliate of a casino licensee shall be licensed as a casino key employee in accordance with the provisions of P.L.1977, c.110 (C.5:12-1 et seq.); provided, however, that said licensee need not be a resident of this State.

Junket enterprises that, and junket representatives not employed by a casino licensee or an applicant for a casino license or by a junket enterprise who, engage in activities governed by this section shall be licensed as an ancillary casino service industry enterprise in accordance with paragraph (3) of subsection a. of section 92 of P.L.1977, c.110 (C.5:12-92), unless otherwise directed by the division; provided, however, that any such junket enterprise or junket representative who is disqualified pursuant to section 86 of P.L.1977, c.110 (C.5:12-86) shall not be entitled to establish his rehabilitation from such disqualification.

Prior to the issuance of any license required by this section, an applicant for licensure shall submit to the jurisdiction of the State of New Jersey and shall demonstrate that he is amenable to service of process within this State. Failure to establish or maintain compliance with the requirements of this subsection shall constitute sufficient cause for the denial, suspension or revocation of any license issued pursuant to this section. e. Upon petition by the holder of a casino license, an applicant for a casino key employee license intending to be employed as a junket representative may be issued a temporary license by the division in accordance with regulations promulgated by the division, provided that: (1) the applicant for licensure is employed by a casino licensee; (2) the applicant for licensure has filed a completed application as required by the commission; (3) the division either certifies to the commission that the completed application for licensure as specified in paragraph (2) of this subsection has been in the possession of the division for at least 60 days or agrees to allow the commission to consider the application in some lesser time; and (4) the division does not object to the temporary licensure of the applicant; provided, however, that failure of the division to object prior to the temporary licensure of the applicant shall not be construed to reflect in any manner upon the qualifications of the applicant for licensure. In addition to any other authority granted by P.L.1977, c.110 (C.5:12-1 et seq.), the commission shall have the authority, upon receipt of a representation by the division that it possesses information which raises a reasonable possibility that a junket representative does not qualify for licensure, to immediately suspend, limit or condition any temporary license issued pursuant to this subsection, pending a hearing on the qualifications of the junket representative, in accordance with the provisions of P.L.1977, c.110 (C.5:12-1 et seq.).

Failure to expressly include such a condition in the agreement shall not constitute a defense in any action brought to terminate the agreement. g. A casino licensee shall be responsible for the conduct of any junket representative or junket enterprise associated with it and for the terms and conditions of any junket engaged in on its premises, regardless of the fact that the junket may involve persons not employed by such a casino licensee. h. A casino licensee shall be responsible for any violation or deviation from the terms of a junket. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this act, the division may order restitution to junket participants, assess penalties for such violations or deviations, prohibit future junkets by the casino licensee, junket enterprise or junket representative, and order such further relief as it deems appropriate. i.

In granting exemptions, the division shall consider such factors as the nature, volume and significance of the particular type of arrangement, and whether the exemption would be consistent with the public policies established by this act. In applying the provisions of this subsection, the division may condition, limit, or restrict any exemption as the commission may deem appropriate. l. No junket enterprise or junket representative or person acting as a junket representative may: (1) Engage in efforts to collect upon checks that have been returned by banks without full and final payment; (2) Exercise approval authority with regard to the authorization or issuance of credit pursuant to section 101 of P.L.1977, c.110 (C.5:12-101); (3) Act on behalf of or under any arrangement with a casino licensee or a gaming patron with regard to the redemption, consolidation, or substitution of the gaming patron's checks awaiting deposit pursuant to subsection c. of section 101 of P.L.1977, c.110 (C.5:12-101); (4) Individually receive or retain any fee from a patron for the privilege of participating in a junket; (5) Pay for any services, including transportation, or other items of value provided to, or for the benefit of, any patron participating in a junket. m.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a casino licensee may offer and provide complimentary cash or noncash gifts which are not otherwise included in paragraphs (1) and (3) of this subsection to any person, provided that any such gifts in excess of $2,000.00, or such greater amount as the division may establish by regulation, are supported by documentation regarding the reason the gift was provided to the patron and his guests, including where applicable, a patron's player rating, which documentation shall be maintained by the casino licensee. Each casino licensee shall maintain a regulated complimentary service account, for those complimentaries which are permitted pursuant to this section, and shall submit a quarterly report to the division based upon such account and covering all complimentary services offered or engaged in by the licensee during the immediately preceding quarter. Such reports shall include identification of the regulated complimentary services and their respective costs, the number of persons by category of service who received the same, and such other information as the division may require. n.

Moneys set aside for hotel development projects
Status: in_force

8. a. From the moneys made available to the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority pursuant to section 3 of P.L.1984, c.218 (C.5:12-144.1), the authority shall, in such manner as it may reasonably determine, set aside $100,000,000 for investment on hotel development projects in Atlantic City undertaken by a casino licensee under the "Casino Control Act," P.L.1977, c.110 (C.5:12-1 et seq.), operating an approved hotel on the effective date of this amendatory and supplementary act, P.L.1993, c.159 (C.5:12-173.1 et al.), which result in the construction, reconstruction or rehabilitation of at least 200 hotel rooms in the City of Atlantic City. The authority shall, by regulation, adopt standards for determining the extent of construction, reconstruction or rehabilitation of hotel rooms or appurtenant facilities required in order to qualify for authority investment, which standards shall require at least that the hotel rooms be operated as part of a licensed casino facility or be first class hotel rooms located and operated in a manner consistent with an authority approved project. The authority shall require as a condition for authority investment that the hotel rooms be subject to an agreement with the authority that requires the rooms to be reserved, at certain times and under certain conditions agreeable to the authority, for convention business in connection with an authority approved project. A hotel development project may qualify for authority investment notwithstanding that it includes, incorporates, facilitates or supports an expansion of space used for the conduct of casino gaming in a casino hotel facility operated by a casino licensee. Any casino licensee which undertook a hotel development project that was approved by the authority prior to the effective date of this amendatory act, P.L.1996, c.118 (C.5:12-173.3a et al.), for an investment out of moneys set aside pursuant to this subsection a., but which investment has not been received by the casino licensee as a result of the inclusion in the project of space for use for the conduct of casino gaming, shall be entitled pursuant to this subsection a. to receive the investment previously approved by the authority. The provisions of section 30 of P.L.1984, c.218 (C.5:12-178) shall not apply to investments made out of the moneys so set aside. The authority shall determine the amount each casino licensee shall be eligible to receive out of the moneys so set aside. The form, amount and terms of the investment made by the authority shall be determined by the authority, but the maximum amount of the investment shall not exceed the lesser of the amount which the casino licensee applying therefor is eligible to receive, or the amount equal to 27% of the costs reasonably related to constructing, reconstructing or rehabilitating the hotel rooms or appurtenant facilities in the project excluding costs reasonably related to space used for the conduct of casino gaming. For the purposes of determining each casino licensee's eligibility for authority investments from the moneys so set aside, the authority may by resolution permit the transfer of obligation to make payment under section 3 of P.L.1984, c.218 (C.5:12-144.1) to any other casino licensee which has received approval for investment in a project to construct, reconstruct or rehabilitate hotel rooms. In approving a hotel development project, the authority shall establish a schedule for investments to be made by the authority as progressive stages of construction, reconstruction or rehabilitation are accomplished. Any moneys remaining in the special fund thereafter shall be available for investment in otherwise eligible projects of the authority. b. From the moneys made available to the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority pursuant to section 3 of P.L.1984, c.218 (C.5:12-144.1), the authority shall, in such manner as it may reasonably determine, set aside $75,000,000 for investment on hotel development projects in Atlantic City, which shall be in addition to the moneys set aside pursuant to subsection a. of this section. Any moneys set aside pursuant to that subsection a. which are not invested by the authority as the result of the failure of a casino licensee to comply with requirements, regulations, conditions or determinations made under that subsection a. shall be available for authority investment pursuant to this subsection b. Authority investments under this subsection b. shall be subject to the requirements, regulations, conditions and determinations of that subsection a., except as follows: (1) The authority may provide an additional investment amount to a casino licensee which has had a hotel development project approved prior to the effective date of this amendatory act, P.L.1996, c.118 (C.5:12-173.3a et al.), but which the authority has approved for an amount out of the moneys set aside pursuant to that subsection a. that is less than the maximum amount of investment for the approved project because sufficient investment funds were not available to fund all projects approved under that subsection a. at the maximum amount of investment. The additional investment may be made only as the result of an application made to the authority on or before April 1, 1996. The additional investment amount shall not be greater than the difference between the maximum amount of investment for the approved project under that subsection a. and the amount which the authority actually approved for the project. The authority may provide an additional investment amount pursuant to this paragraph (1) only for those previously approved hotel development projects for which construction, reconstruction or rehabilitation has actually and substantially commenced on or before August 31, 1996. (2) Thereafter, any casino licensee may be eligible to receive an investment out of moneys set aside pursuant to this subsection b.; provided, that the casino licensee shall apply for approval of a hotel development project by the authority within 90 days following the effective date of this amendatory act. The authority shall require as a condition for authority investment under this paragraph that construction, reconstruction or rehabilitation of the hotel development project actually and substantially commence within 12 months after the date upon which the authority and the casino licensee enter into a hotel room credit agreement.

Issuance, renewal of sports wagering licenses.
Status: in_force

2. a. The division shall issue all sports wagering licenses and renewals thereof to casinos. The racing commission shall issue all initial sports wagering licenses to racetracks but the division shall have responsibility for the renewal thereof. In addition to casino games permitted pursuant to the provisions of P.L.1977, c.110 (C.5:12-1 et seq.), a casino which holds a sports wagering license issued by the division may operate a sports pool in accordance with the provisions of this act and applicable regulations promulgated pursuant to this act. A racetrack which holds an initial sports wagering license issued by the racing commission or a sports wagering license that has been renewed by the division may operate a sports pool in accordance with the provisions of this act and applicable regulations promulgated pursuant to this act. The division may issue a transactional waiver to allow the continued operation of an established sports wagering lounge and authorization to conduct up to three online sports wagering operations when a racetrack that holds a license issued by the racing commission pursuant to P.L.1940, c.17 (C.5:5-22, et seq.) undergoes a material change in ownership to a degree such that it would be required to file a new application with the racing commission in order to continue to operate pursuant to P.L.1940, c.17 (C.5:5-22 et seq.). A transactional waiver issued pursuant to this section shall be for an initial period of up to six months and may be renewed during the pendency of the racing commission's consideration of a new application for up to three one-year periods, but the division shall have the right to reexamine and rescind the grant of the waiver at any time. A racetrack at which a permit holder has scheduled a standardbred horse race meeting within one year preceding the effective date of P.L.2018, c.33 (C.5:12A-10 et al.) and that met the definition of a racetrack under P.L.2018, c.33 (C.5:12A-10 et al.) on the effective date thereof: shall not be permitted to hold a sports wagering license as a former racetrack on or after the effective date of P.L.2021, c.350, and shall, as a condition of holding a sports wagering license after the effective date of P.L.2021, c.350, schedule annually no fewer than 151 standardbred race dates, except that the annual number of scheduled standardbred race dates may be decreased to no fewer than 75 standardbred race dates upon written consent from the Standardbred Breeders' and Owners' Association of New Jersey. A casino which holds a sports wagering license and a racetrack which holds a sports wagering license may enter into an agreement to jointly operate a sports pool at the racetrack, in accordance with the provisions of this act and applicable regulations promulgated pursuant to this act. A casino or racetrack that holds a sports wagering license may conduct an online sports pool or may authorize an internet sports pool operator licensed as a casino service industry enterprise pursuant to section 92 of P.L.1977, c.110 (C.5:12-92), or an applicant for such license, to operate an online sports pool on its behalf provided the terms of the agreement are approved by the division; provided, however, that each sports wagering licensee may provide no more than three individually branded websites, each of which may have an accompanying mobile application bearing the same brand as the website for an online sports pool, those websites and mobile applications, in the case of a casino being in addition to or, in the discretion of the casino, in conjunction with, any websites and mobile applications that also offer other types of Internet gaming pursuant to P.L.2013, c.27 (C.5:12-95.17 et seq.). No online sports pool shall be opened to the public, and no sports wagering, except for test purposes, may be conducted therein, until an Internet sports pool operator receives approval from the division to conduct an online sports pool on behalf of a casino or racetrack that holds a sports wagering license. Sports wagering licensees and operators may provide promotional credits, incentives, bonuses, complimentaries, or similar benefits designed to induce sports betters to wager. The division, in consultation with the commission, shall establish by rule standards governing the provision of these measures. The server or other equipment used by a racetrack to accept wagers at a sports pool or online sports pool shall be located in that racetrack or in any location in Atlantic City which conforms to the requirements of section 20 of P.L.2013, c.27 (C.5:12-95.22) and any additional requirements which the division may impose by regulation. The server or other equipment used by a casino to accept wagers at a sports pool or online sports pool shall conform to the requirements of section 20 of P.L.2013, c.27 (C.5:12-95.22) and any additional requirements which the division may impose by regulation. With regard to this act, P.L.2018, c.33 (C.5:12A-10 et al.), the duties specified in section 63 of P.L.1977, c.110 (C.5:12-63) of the Casino Control Commission shall apply to the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of this act. In addition to the duties specified in section 76 of P.L.1977, c.110 (C.5:12-76), the division or racing commission, as required pursuant to this act, shall hear and decide promptly and in reasonable order all applications for a license to operate a sports pool. In addition to the duties specified in section 76 of P.L.1977, c.110 (C.5:12-76), the division shall have the general responsibility for the implementation of this act, except with respect to the authority to issue sports wagering licenses to a racetrack as provided by this act, and shall have all other duties specified in that section with regard to the operation of a sports pool. The license to operate a sports pool shall be in addition to any other license required to be issued pursuant to P.L.1977, c.110 (C.5:12-1 et seq.) to operate a casino or pursuant to P.L.1940, c.17 (C.5:5-22 et seq.) to conduct horse racing. The division and the racing commission shall each have the authority to charge a casino or a racetrack a fee for the issuance or, in the case of the division renewal, of a sports wagering license in an amount of $100,000 for initial issuance and in the case of a renewal a reasonable fee that is based upon the expense associated with renewal, enforcement, and gambling addiction programs. No sports wagering license shall be issued by the division or racing commission to any entity unless it has established its financial stability, integrity and responsibility and its good character, honesty and integrity. No casino or racetrack shall be permitted to operate a sports pool or accept wagers via an online sports pool unless a sports wagering lounge is established and has commenced operation in its facility; provided, however, that an applicant for a sports wagering license may petition the agency issuing the sports wagering license pursuant to this act to commence operation of the sports pool at a temporary facility and/or an online sports pool during the pendency of construction of a sports wagering lounge in its facility. Such temporary facility may include, at the discretion of the agency issuing the sports wagering license pursuant to this act, the utilization of designated windows at the current casino cage or racetrack betting window for purposes of placing sports betting wagers and self-service wagering machines located at the racetrack or casino hotel complex. No license to operate a sports pool shall be issued to any entity which is disqualified under the criteria of section 86 of P.L.1977, c.110 (C.5:12-86). No later than five years after the date of the issuance of a license and every five years thereafter or within such lesser periods as the agency issuing the sports wagering license pursuant to this act may direct, a licensee shall submit to the said agency such documentation or information as the division or racing commission may by regulation require, to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the agency that the licensee continues to meet the requirements of the law and regulations. The division and the racing commission following consultation with the sports wagering licensees shall annually cause a report to be prepared and distributed to the Governor on the impact of sports wagering, including Internet wagering on sports events, on problem gamblers and gambling addiction in New Jersey. The report shall be prepared by a private organization or entity with expertise in serving the needs of persons with gambling addictions, which organization or entity shall be selected jointly by the division and the racing commission. The report shall be prepared and distributed under the supervision of, and in coordination with, the division and the racing commission. Any costs associated with the preparation and distribution of the report shall be borne by casino and racetrack licensees who have been authorized by the division or the racing commission to conduct Internet gaming and the division and the racing commission shall be authorized to assess a fee against such licensees for these purposes. The division and the racing commission may also report periodically to the Governor on the effectiveness of the statutory and regulatory controls in place to ensure the integrity of gaming operations through the Internet. b. A sports pool shall be operated in a sports wagering lounge located at a casino or racetrack. A sports wagering lounge may be located at a casino simulcasting facility. The lounge shall conform to all requirements concerning square footage, design, equipment, security measures and related matters which the division shall by regulation prescribe. The space required for the establishment of a lounge shall not reduce the space authorized for casino gaming activities as specified in section 83 of P.L.1977, c.110 (C.5:12-83). c. No sports pool or online sports pool shall be offered or made available for wagering to the public by any entity other than a sports wagering licensee, pursuant to P.L.2018, c.33 (C.5:12A-10 et al.), an applicant for such license, operating such pool on behalf of a licensee, or an Internet sports pool operator, on behalf of a sports wagering licensee. Any person who offers a sports pool or an online sports pool without approval of the division or racing commission to do so is guilty of a crime of the fourth degree and notwithstanding the provisions of N.J.S.2C:43-3, shall be subject to a fine of not more than $25,000 and in the case of a person other than a natural person, to a fine of not more than $100,000 and any other appropriate disposition authorized by subsection b. of N.J.S.2C:43-2. d. The operator shall establish or display the odds at which wagers may be placed on sports events. e. An operator shall accept wagers on sports events only from persons physically present in the sports wagering lounge; through self-service wagering machines located in its facility as authorized by the agency issuing the sports wagering license; or through an online sports pool. A person placing a wager on a sports event shall be at least 21 years of age. f.

Any employee of a sports governing body or its member teams who is not prohibited from wagering on a sports event shall, nevertheless, provide notice to the division prior to placing a wager on a sports event. The direct or indirect legal or beneficial owner of 10 percent or more of a sports governing body shall not place or accept any wager on a sports event in which any member team of that sports governing body participates. The direct or indirect legal or beneficial owner of 10 percent or more of a member team of a sports governing body shall not place or accept any wager on a sports event in which that member team participates. Any person who violates this paragraph shall be guilty of a disorderly persons offense and shall be fined not less than $500 and not more than $1,000.

(4) An operator shall adopt procedures to obtain personally identifiable information from any individual who places any single wager in an amount of $10,000 or greater on a sports event while physically present in a racetrack facility or a casino.
