SCR 130 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Proposes constitutional amendment authorizing Legislature to establish casino gaming at Monmouth Park Racetrack and Meadowlands Racetrack; dedicates State's revenues.

SCR 130 proposes a constitutional amendment to allow New Jersey's Legislature to establish casino gaming at Monmouth Park Racetrack and Meadowlands Racetrack, currently permitted only in Atlantic City. If approved by voters, the Legislature would later pass specific laws governing the casino types, regulations, and taxes. The bill mandates that 45% of the state's revenue from these casinos must fund property tax relief, 20% for special education aid, 10% each for state pension systems and cost-of-living adjustments for retired state employees, 10% for Atlantic City tourism, and 5% for the horse racing industry. This amendment does not create casinos itself but enables future legislation to do so, requiring voter approval under the state constitution.
