ASSEMBLY TOURISM, GAMING AND THE ARTS COMMITTEE

STATEMENT TO

ASSEMBLY, No. 2355

STATE OF NEW JERSEY

DATED:  MARCH 5, 2020

      The Assembly Tourism, Gaming and the Arts Committee reports favorably Assembly Bill No. 2355.

      This bill amends existing law to allow New Jersey residents who are in another jurisdiction to place wagers on the results of horse races using this State’s account wagering system as long as the placing of such wagers is not inconsistent with the law of that jurisdiction or with federal law.  Current law allows only New Jersey residents while within this State to participate in account wagering.
