Establishes annual fee for sports wagering licensees; directs funds from such fees to Council on Compulsive Gambling and gambling addiction treatment programs.
This bill establishes a new $250,000 annual fee for businesses operating sports wagering licenses in New Jersey, in addition to existing licensing costs. The fee is split, with $140,000 directed to the Council on Compulsive Gambling and $110,000 allocated to other state gambling addiction treatment programs. It amends existing gambling tax law to formalize this funding stream for prevention and treatment services. The bill directly affects licensed sports betting operators by requiring this additional payment, with funds specifically earmarked for problem gambling resources.
