An Act

����
Be It
Enacted
by the Senate and General Assembly of
the State of New Jersey:

���� 1.��� Section 2 of P.L.2018,
c.33 (C.5:12A-11) is amended to read as follows:

���� 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
, sport
governing bodies, athletic conferences, and collegiate athletics programs
shall
annually cause a report to be prepared and distributed to the Governor on the

problem gamblers
, the harassment or coercion of participants in sporting
events or other acts which affect the integrity of athletes or competitors,
sporting or athletic competitions, or sports wagering operations,
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

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
