  美国新泽西州立法会议员星期一向霍尔大学法学院教授约翰·B·Wefing咨询了网上赌博合法化的相关法律问题。法律专家告诉立法者,根据新泽西州的法律条文,网络赌场的空间服务器必须放置在大西洋城内。

  立法者据此重新向参议员雷蒙德·莱斯雅克提交关于在线赌博合法化的修正法案。莱斯雅克认为州政府应迅速采取行动修正相关法案。

  莱斯雅克希望可以在本周通过该项法案,并将法案上呈给州长克里斯·克里斯蒂。克里斯蒂曾表示他不会签署没有进行选民公投的法案,但如果宪法修正案符合宪法规定,他表示会考虑签署。

  新泽西州参议员认可了法律专家约翰·B·Wefing的主张,将网络赌场的空间服务器放置在新泽西州允许赌博的唯一地区——大西洋城,州内所有的赌徒将允许在这些网络赌场进行在线投注。大西洋城是新泽西州唯一合法的赌博地区。

  法律专家约翰·B·Wefing表示:“将网络赌场的空间服务器放置在大西洋城内,其本质是推动大西洋城博彩业务的发展,是符合宪法规定的。”

  New Jersey lawmakers received an education on Internet gambling law Monday from Seton Hall Law Professor John B. Wefing. The legal expert told legislators that online gambling would be legal in New Jersey as long as the servers for the online casinos are in Atlantic City.

  Lawmakers have been wrestling with Senator Raymond Lesniak’s amendments to the state constitution that would permit online gambling. Lesniak believes the state needs to move quickly in order to beat other states around the US that are considering the same legal changes.

  Lesniak is hoping that a bill can be completed by the end of the week, and sent to Governor Chris Christie for his approval. Christie had previously stated he would not sign such legislation without a voter referendum, but he has come off that stance in recent weeks, saying now that if the amendment is legal under the constitution, he would consider signing the bill.

  Lawmakers heard testimony from Wefing, who asserted that as long as the servers were in an area where casino gambling was permitted, then gamblers from all over the state would be allowed to bet online at those casinos. Atlantic City is the only place in the state where casinos are legal.
