Permits amusement games licenses to be issued to certain nonprofit organizations.
This bill allows tax-exempt nonprofits (501(c)(3) organizations under federal tax law) to obtain amusement game licenses for events they host, such as festivals, carnivals, or fairs held for their benefit or sponsored by them. Currently, licenses are available for certain venues and events like agricultural fairs, but nonprofits were excluded. The bill adds these organizations to the list of eligible applicants under New Jersey’s existing Amusement Games Licensing Law, requiring all other standard licensing conditions to be met. It does not change current licensing rules for other entities or permit permanent amusement operations.
