If that criteria isn\u2019t met, those without Atlantic City licenses can bid to build the new North Jersey casinos.\u00a0 They would also be required to invest at least $1 billion for each facility<\/p>\n
It appears the proposed amendments will not be voted on in this current legislative session which ends on Tuesday, January 12, 2016 and 12:00 noon, but rather in the new session which begins thereafter.\u00a0 As such both the Assembly and Senate will be required to pass the amended proposal with 3\/5th majorities for the proposed amendment to be on the November, 2016 ballot.<\/p>\n
