SENATE STATE GOVERNMENT, WAGERING, TOURISM & HISTORIC
PRESERVATION COMMITTEE

STATEMENT TO

SENATE, No.
2055

STATE
OF NEW JERSEY

DATED:
�JUNE
11, 2026

����� The Senate State Government, Wagering, Tourism &
Historic Preservation Committee reports favorably Senate Bill No. 2055.

����� Under current law, the Division of Gaming Enforcement
is responsible for the establishment of a self-exclusion program in this State,
which allows individuals to request that they not be permitted to enter casinos
or otherwise participate in gambling in this State.� Many states operate
similar programs, which only apply within the boundaries of each state.� As a
result, a person who wishes to self-exclude from gambling in multiple states,
which they may live near or visit frequently, must do so in each individual
state.

����� This bill would authorize the division to join
multi-state or national self-exclusion programs that would allow individuals to
request to join multiple self-exclusion lists, in multiple states, through one
form at one time.� The bill would also allow the division to enter into an
agreement with other states for the mutual enforcement of their self-exclusion
lists.

����� The bill directs the division to establish the
necessary rules, procedures, and forms for the implementation of such programs
or agreements.� The division would be required to allow an individual
requesting self-exclusion to select the jurisdictions from which they wish to
be excluded.� The division would be prohibited from sharing the individual�s
information with any jurisdiction not explicitly authorized by the person.

����� This bill was pre-filed for introduction in the
2026-2027 session pending technical review.� As reported, the bill includes the
changes required by technical review, which has been performed.
