ACR 140 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 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 140 proposes amending the New Jersey Constitution to permit sports wagering on all college athletic events through casinos and current or former horse racetracks. This would remove the current prohibition on betting for events held in New Jersey or involving New Jersey college teams. If approved by voters, the amendment would allow the Legislature to pass laws enabling such wagering, including on events featuring New Jersey teams or held within the state. The bill itself does not authorize wagering but changes the constitutional framework to permit future legislation.
