Senator Declan O’Scanlon, a member of the Senate Budget & Appropriations Committee, praised the committee’s approval of legislation that would allow sports betting in New Jersey to move forward:

“After our committee vote today, we’re one step closer to providing opportunities for customers to engage in legal sports betting in New Jersey. This will revitalize Monmouth Park and our horse racing industry, support the preservation of open space, and give the New Jersey economy a welcome boost.”
