S 4122 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Revises apportionment of State lottery contributions.

This bill changes how New Jersey allocates lottery revenue to the state pension fund. Currently, at least 30% of lottery proceeds must fund the Common Pension Fund L. The bill lowers this minimum to 25% if average annual lottery sales and revenue over three consecutive years (after the bill's effective year) equal or exceed the base year's levels. If sales and revenue fall below the base year's figures during that period, the allocation reverts to 30% the following fiscal year. The change directly affects the state pension fund's funding from lottery revenue.
