Permits civil liability against casinos and simulcast facilities for reckless indifference or intentional misconduct toward persons self-excluded from gaming activities.

This bill (A5348) amends New Jersey law to allow civil lawsuits against casinos and simulcast facilities for harming self-excluded gamblers due to reckless indifference or intentional misconduct. It directly affects individuals who voluntarily exclude themselves from gambling at licensed venues and the casinos/simulcast facilities themselves. The key change removes current legal immunity that protected casinos from liability for failing to prevent self-excluded persons from gambling, but only when misconduct was reckless or intentional - not for simple negligence. The bill updates Section 1 of P.L.2001, c.39 to clarify that casinos can be held liable for such specific misconduct while maintaining existing protections for other failures.
