STATEMENT TO

ASSEMBLY CONCURRENT RESOLUTION No. 186

STATE OF NEW JERSEY

DATED:  SEPTEMBER 13, 2018

      The Assembly Tourism, Gaming and the Arts Committee reports favorably Assembly Concurrent Resolution No. 186.

     In this concurrent resolution the Legislature finds that N.J.A.C.13:70-1.42, a rule of the New Jersey Racing Commission requiring permitholders to submit certain information more than 30 days prior to a State shutdown due to the failure to enact an annual appropriation act in order to remain open for seven days during such a shutdown, is not consistent with legislative intent as expressed in the language of N.J.S.A.5:5-22.3 and transmits this finding by this concurrent resolution to the Governor and the head of the New Jersey Racing Commission and that agency shall have 30 days to amend or withdraw that rule or regulation.
