The legislation, duly attested by <strong>Governor Phil Murphy<\/strong>, was passed in the latter part of 2021. The 2021 state law was an <a href=\"https:\/\/pub.njleg.gov\/Bills\/2016\/S2000\/1715_I1.pdf\">amendment to the original 2016 PILOT law<\/a>. It granted big tax breaks to all the casinos located in Atlantic City by excluding online sports gaming and iGaming from the gross gaming revenue calculations. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/libertyandprosperity.com\/please-help-us-respond-to-gov-murphys-latest-move-to-keep-casino-tax-breaks\/\">Liberty and Prosperity<\/a>, a nonprofit, had filed a lawsuit against the law stating it had violated the New Jersey constitution. According to the nonprofit, the law supported the gambling industry instead of fulfilling a legitimate public purpose.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position:relative;height:0;padding-bottom:56.25%\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0FoHaaH90oI?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0?ecver=2\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"position:absolute;width:100%;height:100%;left:0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Acting state Attorney General <strong>Matt Platkin<\/strong> argued that if the order was not stopped, it would throw state finances into complete disarray. Platkin also said that the beneficial parts of the amended PILOT law would be gone if the appeal against Blee\u2019s August 29 judgment was not heard soon. Another argument given by the state was that the law didn\u2019t violate the constitution and served the public purpose by stabilizing the casino industry in Atlantic City.<\/p>\n<p>Liberty and Prosperity President <strong>Seth Grossman<\/strong> said that NJ\u2019s arguments were not backed by facts asserting that the PILOT law will contribute to Atlantic City\u2019s economy, or that NJ\u2019s casino industry had incurred more losses than any other vertical during the pandemic. Moreover, the constitution didn\u2019t allow the legislature to give preferences to a certain group under the <strong>Uniformity Clause of 1875<\/strong>, said the executive.<\/p>\n<h2>DGE Chief Glaum Hints at Pessimistic Future<\/h2>\n<p>Meanwhile, Chief of Investigations for the Division of Gaming Enforcement (DGE) <strong>Christopher Glaum<\/strong> said that if the court\u2019s decision was upheld, reinvestment in casinos might decrease, drastically impacting both Atlantic City and NJ.<\/p>\n<p>He added that paying more taxes under the 2016 law would jeopardize resorts such as Bally\u2019s and Golden Nugget. Atlantic City casinos might also face intense competition from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/new-york-citys-five-boroughs-in-the-race-to-win-a-full-casino-license\/\">upcoming outlets in New York<\/a>. The latter did not factor into the discussion about the amendments in the NJ legislature. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Jersey (NJ) filed a motion to put a stay on a decision that revoked the amendments made to the casino payments instead of taxes (PILOT) law.
