The Council on Compulsive Gambling of New Jersey will have to be invited to speak at public colleges and universities at least once a year under a bill signed Friday by Gov. Phil Murphy.
The visits “will provide students with important information on the risks associated with gambling, access to compulsive gambling counseling services, and details about self-exclusion programs and other available support resources,” the Governor’s Office said in a statement.
“Today’s signing demonstrates our continued commitment to promoting responsible gaming and supporting the well-being of students across New Jersey,” Murphy said. “By connecting campus communities with expert resources, we’re taking proactive steps to address gambling-related harm before it takes root.”
