5:10-27. Legislative findings and declarations
The Legislature hereby finds and declares that the general welfare of the people of the State will be promoted by the advancement of horse racing facilities in the State; that it is vital to State Government that the revenues derived from parimutuel betting on horse race meetings at racetracks in the State be continued; that ownership and operation of racetracks for horse racing by a State agency would protect against a loss of revenue to the State and assure the financial stability of the racetracks and availability of capital to repair, reconstruct and restore damaged or destroyed facilities thereof and to provide improvements and additions thereto; that the advancement and retention of the horse racing and related activities in the State will not only provide recreational opportunities for the people of the State but will also benefit the people in the form of increased commerce and employment.
The Legislature has determined that in order to accomplish such purposes and goals, it is necessary and desirable to authorize the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority to immediately acquire and operate the Garden State Racetrack facility, its contiguous properties and auxiliary facilities.
The Legislature further finds that the powers conferred by this act and the expenditure of public moneys pursuant hereto will serve a valid public purpose and that the enactment of the provisions hereinafter set forth is in the public interest and is hereby so declared to be such as a matter of express legislative determination.
