TRENTON, N.J. (September 15, 2025) –The New Jersey Lottery has announced a Notice of Proposal to amend rules governing the registration renewal process for registered courier services. The proposed amendments, filed with the New Jersey Office of Administrative Law and published in the New Jersey Register and distributed to media outlets that cover the state. They are part of the Lottery Division’s continuous efforts to streamline administrative requirements while maintaining the integrity and reputation of the Lottery.
The proposed amendments to N.J.A.C. 17:20-2.1 and 12.7 seek to extend the registration renewal period for courier services from annually to once every three years. The proposed amendments will implement a staggered renewal schedule for currently registered courier services to ensure all registrations do not expire in the same year. This change is prompted by the Division’s experience in regulating courier services, which has demonstrated annual registration is no longer requisite. The infrequency of substantial changes, coupled with existing reporting requirements that adequately capture necessary updates, supports the transition to a triennial renewal cycle.
Provisions related to couriers include revisions to the renewal process to allow for an extended registration period and a staggered schedule to manage the renewal process more effectively. The proposed rules are expected to reduce administrative burdens for courier services and the Division while ensuring continued regulatory oversight.
The full text of the proposal is available in the September 15, 2025, edition of the New Jersey Register and on the Lottery’s website. Members of the public and industry stakeholders are invited to submit written comments during the 60-day comment period. To comment on a proposed rule, interested persons must submit written comments by November 14, 2025, to:
