The proposed resolution seeks to amend the New Jersey State Constitution to allow sports wagering at casinos and current or former horse racetracks on all college sports and athletic events. Currently, the Constitution prohibits wagering on college events that take place in New Jersey or involve New Jersey college teams. The amendment would remove these restrictions, thereby permitting betting on a broader range of collegiate sporting events.
If approved, this amendment will be submitted to the public for a vote in the next general election, following the necessary legislative agreement and publication requirements. The resolution outlines the process for how the amendment will be presented to voters, including the wording that will appear on the ballot, allowing residents to express their support or opposition to the change in the law regarding sports wagering.
