Imposes temporary surcharges on certain transactions to support preparations for hosting of special events.
This New Jersey bill introduces temporary surcharges on hotel stays and specific sales within the Meadowlands district to fund preparations for upcoming special events. The measures apply a 2.5% fee on hotel rooms and a 3% fee on goods, food, and amusement tickets in the Meadowlands area between June 12 and July 21, 2026. These additional charges are collected from customers and paid to the state's Division of Taxation, with the revenue deposited into the General Fund. The fees are designed to be temporary and do not apply to purchases made by tax-exempt entities.
