ACR 26 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Amends State Constitution to permit sports wagering through casinos and current or former horse racetracks on all college sport or athletic events.

ACR 26 is a constitutional amendment proposal that would permit sports wagering at Atlantic City casinos and horse racetracks on professional and amateur sports events. It specifically prohibits betting on college sports events involving New Jersey college teams, regardless of where the event is held. If approved by voters, this amendment would remove a constitutional barrier, allowing the legislature to authorize such betting through future laws while maintaining the existing restriction on New Jersey college sports. The amendment requires voter approval at the next general election following its passage.
