The original renewal bill would have extended it for another 10 years.But on Tuesday, an Assembly panel cut that to just two years without discussing or even announcing the change.

The next day, the extension was set at five years — again, without explanation.The trade association for the Atlantic City casino industry has said a full 10-y...
