This bill amends New Jersey law to prohibit sports wagering licensees from offering or accepting player-specific proposition bets on collegiate sports or athletic events. Proposition bets are defined as side wagers that do not concern the final outcome of the event, which may include aspects such as individual player performance statistics. The legislation aims to enhance the integrity of college sports by preventing betting practices that could compromise the fairness of the games and mitigate potential conflicts of interest.

The bill responds to concerns from the President of the National Collegiate Athletics Association regarding the harassment of student-athletes and the need to uphold the integrity of college sports. It is set to take effect immediately upon passage, reinforcing the state's commitment to regulating sports wagering and ensuring responsible gambling practices.
