SCR 78 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Declares Division of State Lottery's new rule concerning online lottery sales inconsistent with legislative intent.

This concurrent resolution (SCR 78) declares that the New Jersey Division of State Lottery's rule allowing direct online sales of lottery tickets via its website and apps (effective October 2, 2023) violates the State Lottery Act. The rule conflicts with existing law (N.J.S.A. 5:9-11), which prohibits state agencies from acting as "lottery sales agents" exclusively. The Legislature requires the Division to amend or withdraw the rule within 30 days of the resolution's transmission. If not corrected, the Legislature may later pass another resolution to invalidate the rule. This is a procedural action to enforce legislative intent, not a new policy.
