This resolution proposes an amendment to 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 seeks to remove these restrictions, thereby permitting betting on all collegiate sporting events, regardless of location or team affiliation.
If approved, the amendment will be submitted to the public for a vote during the next general election, following a three-month notice period. The resolution outlines the process for how the amendment will be presented on the ballot, ensuring that voters can express their support or opposition clearly. This change aims to expand the scope of legal sports wagering in New Jersey, aligning it with broader trends in sports betting across the country.
