Voters in the November
general election will have the opportunity to decide whether to allow bets on
New Jersey college teams, or teams from other states playing games in the
Garden State.
The state Legislature on
Thursday gave final approval to a measure placing a referendum on the fall
ballot.
Current law forbids betting
on New Jersey college teams, or teams from out of state who play games in the
state in a tournament.
The measure aims to
increase New Jersey’s already nation-leading sports betting market by allowing residents
to bet on the state’s teams, including Rutgers, Seton Hall, Princeton and
others.
AP wire services helped
contribute to this report.
