S 809 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Modifies municipal Tourist Development Commission advertising disbursement requirement for advertising outside municipality.

This bill (S 809) changes a requirement for New Jersey municipalities' Tourist Development Commissions. It replaces the fixed rule that at least 50% of tourism advertising funds must be spent on ads outside the municipality with a provision allowing the commission to set its own percentage. The change accounts for modern advertising practices since the original law was passed. This gives commissions flexibility to allocate funds more effectively for tourism promotion, potentially freeing money for other development activities.
