My favorite part of this was when NJ was claiming that they just wanted to repeal their existing law...which would technically mean that it wasn't illegal to take sports bets...until they realized that Louie from the corner would now be a law abiding citizen. So they decided to add language specifying where sports betting would be legal, and on what games (no NJ college teams or games).
PASPA made it illegal for NJ to authorize sports betting...so short of a straight, clean repeal of the state law...it seems that passing any regs on the subject could be construed as "authorization."
If the SCOTUS does not repeal PASPA outright, just make it OK for NJ to repeal its law, well, that may be fun to watch.

which is why it was framed as a "partial repeal" and that is exactly what it is.
They did not repeal: 0-20 year olds placing bets and people betting on Jersey college games and people placing bets at places other than a casino and a racetrack
They repealed some of the sports betting laws not all of them.
