TRENTON — Legislation sponsored by Assemblyman Vince Mazzeo to repeal a law prohibiting businesses from holding both a liquor license and a license to operate certain amusement games gained final legislative approval on Thurs.
The bill (A-4143) would permit certain liquor license holders to also hold amusement game licenses, provided the licensed facility covers at least 20,000 square feet and includes at least 100 amusement games. A 1959 law currently prohibits an establishment from holding both licenses simultaneously.
“As we work to revitalize the Atlantic City region, it’s critical that we have the ability to explore all means of drawing in new business,” said Mazzeo (D-Atlantic). “This legislation will authorize an option that has the potential to establish hundreds of jobs, yield millions of dollars in revenue and help transition Atlantic City into the resort destination we know it can be.”
The measure, which in June gained approval 71-5 in the Assembly, was approved 27-6 Thursday in the Senate. The bill now heads to the governor’s desk.
