This bill amends current law regarding the employment requirements for the New Jersey Racing Commission by eliminating the five-year residency requirement for its employees. Previously, individuals seeking employment with the commission were required to have been actual residents of New Jersey for at least five years. The proposed change allows for greater flexibility in hiring, potentially broadening the pool of candidates for various positions within the commission.

In addition to the removal of the residency requirement, the bill maintains existing provisions regarding the compensation and duties of the commission's employees, including the executive director and other staff. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage, signaling a prompt implementation of the new hiring standards for the commission.
