ASSEMBLY COMMERCE, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND AGRICULTURE
COMMITTEE

STATEMENT TO

ASSEMBLY,
No. 6081

STATE
OF NEW JERSEY

DATED: JANUARY
5, 2026

The Assembly Commerce, Economic Development and
Agriculture Committee reports favorably Assembly Bill No. 6081.

This
bill authorizes lottery ticket courier services to sell instant lottery game
tickets electronically to persons located in this State. The bill defines
“instant lottery game ticket” to mean a physical ticket approved by the
Division of State Lottery where play symbols are revealed by removing a latex
or protective coating, and prizes are awarded according to the symbols revealed
on a particular ticket.

The
bill also directs the State Lottery Commission to establish a self-exclusion
list, which will allow problem gamblers to exclude themselves from
participation in State Lottery games in a manner similar to the self-exclusion
lists which currently exist for casinos and racetracks. The commission will
(1) establish procedures for placements on, and removals from, the list of
self-excluded persons; (2) establish procedures for the transmittal to lottery
courier services of identifying information concerning persons on the
self-exclusion list; and (3) require lottery courier services to establish
procedures designed, at a minimum, to remove persons on the self-exclusion list
from targeted mailings or other forms of advertising or promotions and deny
such persons access to credit and other benefits, as determined by the
commission. Any prize or winnings which have been obtained by, or are owed to,
a person on the self-exclusion list as a result of the person’s participation
in a State Lottery game will be subject to forfeiture by order of the
commission, following notice to the person on the self-exclusion list and
opportunity to be heard.
