S 4645 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Authorizes Legalized Games of Chance Control Commission to enjoin conduct of unauthorized amusement games; establishes civil penalty for violations.

This bill authorizes New Jersey's Legalized Games of Chance Control Commission to seek court orders stopping unauthorized amusement games (like unlicensed video games with prizes) and imposes civil fines. Operators violating these rules face up to $7,500 for a first offense and $15,000 for repeat violations. The commission can pursue these penalties directly in court, or the Attorney General can enforce them through a simplified legal process. The law specifically targets unlicensed operations while exempting registered, active businesses. It does not change existing gambling regulations but strengthens enforcement against illegal game operators.
