Reduces and clarifies requirements for municipal tourist development commission disbursements for advertising.
This bill (A-2276) would have required municipal tourist development commissions in New Jersey to spend at least 20% of their advertising funds on promoting tourism *outside* the municipality to attract visitors from outside areas, down from the current 50% requirement. It clarifies that "advertising outside the municipality" includes any campaign targeting people who work or live outside the area - regardless of whether the ad also reaches local residents. The bill would have affected local commissions managing tourism funds, directly changing their spending rules. However, the bill was withdrawn on January 13, 2026, as it was superseded by an already-approved law (P.L.2025, c.250).
