S 4111 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

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 sales within the Meadowlands district between June 12 and July 21, 2026, to fund preparations for special events. The measure adds a 2.5 percent fee on hotel room rates in most counties and a 3 percent fee on sales of goods, food, drinks, and amusement tickets in the Meadowlands, excluding transactions in the lowest-classified counties and purchases by tax-exempt entities. All collected funds will go to the state's General Fund, and the Department of the Treasury will handle collection and administration using existing tax procedures.
