S 3456 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Permits amusement games licenses to be issued to certain nonprofit organizations.

This bill allows 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofits (charitable organizations recognized by the IRS) to obtain amusement games licenses under New Jersey's existing licensing law. It specifically permits these nonprofits to operate amusement games at festivals, carnivals, or fairs they sponsor or benefit, provided they meet all other licensing requirements. The law expands current eligibility - previously limited to entities like amusement parks or agricultural fairs - to include qualifying nonprofits hosting community events. All other standard licensing conditions, including municipal approvals, remain applicable. The bill amends the "Amusement Games Licensing Law" to formally include these organizations.
