Establishes Gaming Cybersecurity Intelligence and Response Council.

This bill establishes the Gaming Cybersecurity Intelligence and Response Council within New Jersey's Division of Gaming Enforcement to improve cybersecurity coordination in the state's gaming industry. The council, composed of seven members including gaming operators, state regulators, and cybersecurity experts from universities, will develop confidential training, threat alerts, and incident response protocols for casino and sportsbook operators. It must submit an annual report to the Governor and Legislature summarizing cybersecurity trends and recommendations without disclosing sensitive details that could compromise security systems. The council will meet at least twice yearly and may collaborate with federal agencies like CISA as non-voting advisors to strengthen industry-wide cybersecurity resilience.
