AI Summary

  • Amends New Jersey's Casino Self-Exclusion Program law to allow lawsuits against casinos and simulcast facilities when they act with reckless indifference or intentional misconduct toward self-excluded persons

  • Creates an exception to the existing legal immunity that protects casinos from liability for failing to prevent self-excluded individuals from gambling

  • Licensed casinos and simulcast facilities would remain protected from civil liability for negligent failures to enforce self-exclusion, but would lose immunity when conduct rises to reckless or intentional levels

  • Applies to situations where casinos fail to withhold gaming privileges, improperly restore gaming privileges, or permit self-excluded persons to engage in gaming activities

  • Employees of licensed casinos and simulcast facilities would also be subject to potential civil liability under the same reckless indifference or intentional misconduct standard

Legislative Description

Permits civil liability against casinos and simulcast facilities for reckless indifference or intentional misconduct toward persons self-excluded from gaming activities.
