Eliminates five-year residency requirement for employees of NJ Racing Commission.

Bill A 2385 eliminates a five-year New Jersey residency requirement for employees of the New Jersey Racing Commission. This change directly affects positions including the executive director, chief inspector, and other staff members appointed by the Commission. The bill amends Section 4 of P.L.1940, c.17, removing the specific language requiring employees to have resided in the state for five years prior to hire. The Commission may now appoint employees without this residency restriction, though other existing requirements (like prohibitions on ties to horse racing interests) remain unchanged. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
