Reportedly, New Jersey's Senate passed Assembly Bill A5447 by 34 votes to 5, sending it to Governor Phil Murphy.

The Social and Promotional Games Association has urged the governor to reject the measure.
Why it matters
Operators running dual-currency sweepstakes models in New Jersey face a ban and per-day penalties if the governor signs the bill.
