Shipboard gambling, crime; grading; exception
Short Summary
This section of the New Jersey Code of Criminal Justice governs shipboard gambling. It applies to any person who knowingly causes, engages in, permits, manages, supervises, controls, operates, or owns any gambling activity on a vessel that embarks and disembarks within the State of New Jersey, regardless of whether the gambling activity takes place within or outside the state’s waters. Violation of this section is considered a crime of the same degree as the most serious crime committed in violation of N.J.S.2C:37-2, 2C:37-3, or 2C:37-4. However, this section does not apply to gambling activity conducted on United States-flagged or foreign-flagged vessels during travel to or from a foreign nation or another state or possession of the United States, as long as it does not occur within New Jersey waters. It is important to note that this exemption does not preclude prosecution for any other offense under this chapter.
