Establishes public awareness campaign concerning risks of gambling and resources available to compulsive gamblers; appropriates $200,000.
This bill requires New Jersey's Division of Gaming Enforcement, working with the Health Commissioner, to create a public education campaign about gambling risks and treatment resources for compulsive gamblers. The campaign must cover gambling risks, consequences, addiction rates, and available help, using media like TV, radio, social media, and newspapers within 180 days of the bill's enactment. It appropriates $200,000 from the state General Fund to cover campaign development and implementation. The campaign's progress must be reported to the Governor and Legislature within 24 months of the bill taking effect. The bill directly affects New Jersey residents by providing accessible information on gambling risks and support services.
