�� 

An Act concerning the fee on casino parking facilities and 
amending P.L.1993, c.159.

���� Be It 
Enacted by the Senate and General Assembly of 
the State of New Jersey:

���� 1.� Section 1 of P.L.1993, 
c.159 (C.5:12-173.1) is amended to read as follows:

���� 1.��� The Legislature finds 
that the single most significant factor contributing to the cost of 
constructing, maintaining, operating and supporting highways, roads and 
infrastructure, in Atlantic City, and particularly in the "corridor" 
region of the city, is the heavy volume of motor vehicular traffic occasioned 
by the attraction of casino gambling in Atlantic City.� This traffic is 
encouraged by the provision of free parking by casino operations, by the 
relative underdevelopment of public transportation services, and by the 
shortage of hotel accommodations in the city.� While the Legislature has taken 
various measures, most notably the "South Jersey Transportation Authority 
Act," P.L.1991, c.252 (C.27:25A-1 et al.), to provide and improve public 
transportation services in the South Jersey region as an alternative to the use 
of motor vehicles, the heavy capital costs associated with reconstruction of 
the corridor region's infrastructure require a continuous source of public 
funding.� The Legislature declares, therefore, that it is in the public 
interest to require a standard minimum charge for casino parking within 
Atlantic City, and to impose fees on amounts received from those charges, with 
the proceeds of those fees to be used by the Casino Reinvestment Development 
Authority for projects which are related to improving the highways, roads, 
infrastructure, traffic regulation and public safety of the city, or which are 
otherwise necessary or useful to the economic development and redevelopment of 
the city in this regard.� It is also in the public interest to establish a 
special temporary fund for the use of existing moneys of the authority for the 
provision of financial assistance to casino licensees to construct, reconstruct 
or rehabilitate hotel rooms in Atlantic City.

���� The Legislature declares that 
it is the public purpose of this amendatory act, P.L.1996, c.118 (C.5:12-173.3a 
et al.), that financial assistance to casino licensees to construct, 
reconstruct or rehabilitate hotel rooms in Atlantic City shall be determined 
after excluding costs reasonably related to space used for the conduct of 
casino gaming.� It was, and continues to be, the public purpose of P.L.1993, 
c.159 (C.5:12-173.1 et seq.) that financial assistance may be provided to a 
project which includes, incorporates, facilitates or supports space used for 
the conduct of casino gaming in a casino hotel facility, but only for costs 
reasonably related to hotel rooms and their appurtenant facilities in the 
project.

���� The Legislature declares that 
it is the public purpose of this amendatory and supplementary act, P.L.2003, 
c.116 (C.5:12-148.1 et al.), that the proceeds of the increase in the fee 
imposed on the minimum charge for casino hotel parking within Atlantic City be 
deposited into the Casino Revenue Fund in State fiscal years 2004 through 2006, 
in order to assist the Casino Revenue Fund, and thereafter for use for the 
purposes specified.

���� The Legislature finds and 
declares that it is the public purpose of this amendatory act, P.L.��� , c.��� 
(pending before the Legislature as this bill), that the entire proceeds of the 
fee imposed on the charge for casino hotel parking within Atlantic City be 
available to the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority for projects and 
other purposes to support the continued development and betterment of Atlantic 
City.

(cf: P.L.2003, c.116, s.8)

���� 2.� Section 4 of P.L.1993, 
c.159 (C.5:12-173.4) is amended to read as follows:

���� 4.� a.� The State Treasurer 
shall deposit [the 
first $1.50 of] 
the proceeds of the fee collected pursuant to section 3 of this act, 
P.L.1993, c.159 (C.5:12-173.3) into a special fund established and held by the 
State Treasurer and made available for the exclusive use of the Casino 
Reinvestment Development Authority established pursuant to section 5 of 
P.L.1984, c.218 (C.5:12-153), [and 
shall deposit the remaining $1.50 of the fee into the Casino Revenue Fund 
established pursuant to section 145 of P.L.1977, c.110 (C.5:12-145) in State 
fiscal years 2004 through 2006. Beginning in]

thereafter] 
through State fiscal year 2025, the State Treasurer shall dep
