S 4643 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires those on self-exclusion lists to watch educational and counseling videos prior to removal from self-exclusion lists; permits third party requests for individuals to be excluded from gambling under certain circumstances.

This bill requires individuals seeking to leave New Jersey's self-exclusion gambling list to view educational and counseling videos about gambling risks and support resources before removal. It also allows third parties (such as family members or creditors) to request that another person be added to the exclusion list by providing documentation showing financial responsibility, legal dependency, or court orders related to gambling debts. The bill establishes a process where excluded individuals receive notice and can request a hearing to challenge the exclusion. Gambling venues must remove excluded individuals from marketing materials, deny them access to credit and promotions, and cannot be held liable for enforcing the exclusion. The bill applies to casinos, racetracks, and off-track wagering facilities across New Jersey.
