Action may be taken and motions and resolutions adopted by the authority at any meeting thereof by the affirmative vote of at least eight members of the authority.

6. a. In conjunction with the adoption, pursuant to section 5 of P.L.2011, c.18 (C.5:12-219), of the resolution establishing the tourism district, or in conjunction with the establishment of the tourism district under paragraph (2) of subsection a. of section 5, as appropriate, the authority shall propose and adopt development and design guidelines and land use regulations for the tourism district. Such guidelines and regulations shall be consistent with and in furtherance of the tourism district master plan. Provisions may be made by the authority for the waiver, according to definite criteria adopted by regulation of the authority pursuant to the "Administrative Procedure Act," P.L.1968, c.410 (C.52:14B-1 et seq.), of strict compliance with the standards promulgated, where necessary to alleviate hardship. Upon and after the adoption of the resolution establishing the tourism district, or upon and after the establishment of the tourism district under paragraph (2) of subsection a. of section 5, as appropriate, the development and design guidelines and land use regulations adopted by the authority shall supersede the master plans, the zoning and land use ordinances and regulations, and the zoning maps of Atlantic City adopted pursuant to the "Municipal Land Use Law," P.L.1975, c.291 (C.40:55D-1 et seq.) or any other State or local law.

The authority shall consult with the city concerning site development of development and design guidelines and land use regulations. b. Notwithstanding the provisions to the contrary of the "Municipal Land Use Law," P.L.1975, c.291 (C.40:55D-1 et seq.) or any other law, rule, or regulation, upon and after the adoption of the resolution establishing the tourism district, or upon and after the establishment of the tourism district under paragraph (2) of subsection a. of section 5, as appropriate, the review and approval or denial of site plans and development proposals for development upon and improvements to land within the tourism district that would otherwise be performed by the governing bodies or agencies of the county or municipality in which the tourism district is located shall instead be performed by the authority, but this assignment of responsibility to the authority shall not be deemed to supersede requirements of State or federal law pertaining to the review and approval of such plans or proposals by other agencies. In performing the review, the authority shall utilize the development and design guidelines and land use regulations that it shall have adopted in conjunction with its adoption of the resolution establishing the tourism district or in conjunction with the establishment of the tourism district under paragraph (2) of subsection a. of section 5, as appropriate. The procedures used by the authority for the approval of site plans and developments within the tourism district shall be the same as the procedures that would otherwise be used by a county or municipal governing body or other local entity pursuant to the "Municipal Land Use Law," P.L.1975, c.291 (C.40:55D-1 et seq.), including, but not limited to, procedures for hearings and for the issuance of notice thereof, for the payment of application fees, for appeals, and for the posting of escrow deposits, if any. The authority shall establish an office to issue permits for site plans and development projects. The authority shall by regulation provide for mandatory conceptual review, by or on behalf of the authority, of site plan and development applications; provided, however, that unless accompanied by a request for a variance to be granted by the authority pursuant to subsection d. of this section, any such mandatory conceptual review shall be completed within 45 days of the authority's receipt of the application, or within such later time period if agreed to by the applicant. The authority shall consult with the city concerning site plans and development proposals. c. The authority shall be deemed an interested party entitled to notice of all applications for properties within the tourism district or within 200 feet of the tourism district's boundaries, irrespective of whether the authority owns the portion of the project area within 200 feet. d. (1) The provisions of subsection d. of section 57 of P.L.1975, c.291 (C.40:55D-70) notwithstanding and except as provided in paragraph (2) of this subsection, the authority shall have sole and exclusive jurisdiction to grant for special reasons shown, a variance from the requirements that it shall have established in conjunction with the adoption pursuant to section 5 of P.L.2011, c.18 (C.5:12-219), of the resolution establishing the tourism district, or in conjunction with the establishment of the tourism district under paragraph (2) of subsection a. of section 5, as appropriate, including development and design guidelines or land use regulations adopted by the authority, or from the requirements of the master plan, as appropriate, to permit: (a) a use or principal structure in the district restricted against such use or principal structure, (b) a continuation or an expansion of a nonconforming use, (c) deviation from a specification or standard pursuant to land use regulations adopted by the authority pertaining solely to a conditional use, (d) an increase in the permitted floor area ratio as established by the land use regulations adopted by the authority, (e) an increase in the permitted density as established by the land use regulations adopted by the authority, or (f) a height of a principal structure which exceeds by 10 feet or 10 percent the maximum height permitted in the district for a principal structure. Such variances shall not be granted unless the applicant demonstrates to the satisfaction of the authority that special reasons exist for the granting of such variance, that the granting of the requested variance will not substantially impair the intent and purpose of the master plan, and that the variance can be granted without substantial detriment to the public good. Application for such a variance shall be submitted together with or prior to an application for mandatory conceptual review pursuant to subsection b. of this section, and the authority shall approve or deny the application within 120 days of a complete submission unless the applicant agrees to extend the time. In lieu of granting a variance, the authority in its discretion may require the adoption of a plan amendment. (2) Variances granted pursuant to subparagraphs (a) through (e) of paragraph (1) of this subsection shall require the affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the authority. e. Notwithstanding any other provision of P.L.2011, c.18 (C.5:12-218 et al.) or any other law, rule or regulation to the contrary, upon and after the adoption pursuant to section 5 of P.L.2011, c.18 (C.5:12-219) of the resolution establishing the tourism district, or upon and after the establishment of the tourism district under paragraph (2) of subsection a. of section 5, as appropriate, the filing of a petition with the authority upon or after commencement of a redevelopment project undertaken in furtherance of the master plan shall not effect a delay in or cessation of any action concerning the redevelopment project. f. Notwithstanding any other provision of P.L.2011, c.18 (C.5:12-218 et al.) or any other law, rule or regulation to the contrary, upon and after the adoption pursuant to section 5 of P.L.2011, c.18 (C.5:12-219), of the resolution establishing the tourism district, or upon and after the establishment of the tourism district under paragraph (2) of subsection a. of section 5, as appropriate, Atlantic City shall not designate the tourism district or any portion thereof as an area in need of redevelopment or an area in need of rehabilitation, or adopt a redevelopment plan for any property within the tourism district pursuant to the "Local Redevelopment and Housing Law," P.L.1992, c.79 (C.40A:12A-1 et al.) without the consent of the authority. g. The authority may prescribe penalties for the violation of its regulations concerning the enforcement of construction codes, development and design guidelines, and land use regulations in conformance with the master plan by a fine, the amount of which shall be determined by resolution of the authority and shall be reasonable with regard to the violation. The authority may prescribe that for the violation of any particular regulation at least a minimum penalty shall be imposed which shall consist of a fine which may be fixed at an amount not exceeding $100. The court before which any person is convicted of violating any regulation of the authority shall have power to impose any fine not less than the minimum and not exceeding the maximum fixed in such regulation. Any person who is convicted of violating a regulation within one year of the date of a previous violation of the same ordinance and who was fined for the previous violation, shall be subject to an additional fine as a repeat offender. The additional fine imposed by the court upon a person for a repeated offense shall not be less than the minimum or exceed the maximum fine fixed for a violation of the regulation, but shall be calculated separately from the fine imposed for the violation of the regulation. If the authority imposes a fine in an amount greater than $1,250 upon an owner for violations of building or zoning codes, the authority shall provide a 30-day period in which the owner shall be afforded the opportunity to cure or abate the condition and shall also be afforded an opportunity for a hearing before a court of competent jurisdiction for an independent determination concerning the violation. Subsequent to the expiration of the 30-day period, a fine greater than $1,250 may be imposed if a court has not determined otherwise or, upon reinspection of the property, it is determined that the abatement has not been substantially completed. A fine imposed as permitted by this subsection against an owner of real property for a zoning or property maintenance violation shall be filed with the authority, or the city, or any department, agency, or authority thereof, as determined through coordination and collaboration undertaken pursuant to subsection l. of section 5 of P.L.2011, c.18 (C.5:12-219), as appropriate, as a lien against the property cited in the offense, if such fine is not paid in full within 20 days of its imposition, upon the certification of the authority employee or code enforcement officer who issued the citation. The authority code enforcement officer or authority employee shall file a copy of the lien and certification with the city's municipal tax collector. This lien shall be added to and become and form part of the taxes next to be assessed and levied upon such dwelling or lands, the same to bear interest at the same rate as taxes, and shall be collected and enforced by the same officers and in the same manner as taxes and the amounts collected shall be payable by the city to the authority for the support of the tourism district.

After full and thorough study of the report and recommendations of the State Lottery Planning Commission established pursuant to Joint Resolution Number 11, approved November 20, 1969, and such other pertinent information as may be available, to promulgate such rules and regulations governing the establishment and operation of a State lottery as it deems necessary and desirable in order that the mandate of the people expressed in their approval of the amendment to Article IV, Section VII, paragraph 2, of the Constitution in the general election of November, 1969, may be fully implemented, in order that such a lottery shall be initiated at the earliest feasible and practicable time, and in order that such lottery shall produce the maximum amount of net proceeds for State institutions and State aid for education consonant with the dignity of the State and the general welfare of the people.

(3) The number and sizes of the prizes on the winning tickets or shares. (4) The manner of selecting the winning tickets or shares.

(11) The apportionment of the total proceeds accruing from the sale of lottery tickets or shares and from all other sources among (a) the payment of prizes to the holders of winning tickets or shares, (b) the payment of costs incurred in the operation and administration of the lottery, including the expenses of the division and the costs resulting from any contract or contracts entered into for promotional, advertising, or operational services or for the purchase or lease of lottery equipment and materials, (c) for the repayment of the money appropriated to the State Lottery Fund pursuant to section 23 of this act, and (d) for transfer to the general fund for State institutions and State aid for education, provided, however, that no less than 30% of the total proceeds accruing from the sale of lottery tickets or shares shall be dedicated to (d) above.

Such reversion shall become effective in the second fiscal year following the fiscal year containing the shortfall and no further reviews shall be conducted in subsequent fiscal years if such reversion occurs.

The tourism district master plan shall establish goals, policies, needs, and improvement of the tourism district, the implementation of clean and safe initiatives, and the expansion of the Atlantic City boardwalk area to reflect an authentic New Jersey boardwalk experience. The authority may consult with public and private entities, including, but not limited to, those entities that are present in, or that have been involved with the development of, boardwalk areas in New Jersey such as the boardwalk areas of Ocean City, the Wildwoods, and Cape May. h.

If such resolution shall receive the approval of the authority, then notwithstanding any law, rule, or order to the contrary, the program may be implemented by the mayor without the adoption of any municipal ordinance. A program adopted pursuant to this subsection shall not be subject to repeal or suspension by voter initiative. k. (1) Notwithstanding the provisions of any other law to the contrary, the authority shall provide that all available assets and revenues of the authority shall be devoted to the purposes of the tourism district and community development in Atlantic City, unless otherwise provided by contract entered into prior to the effective date of P.L.2011, c.18 (C.5:12-218 et al.).

The assumption of jurisdiction by the Department of Community Affairs over any department, agency, or authority of the city, undertaken pursuant to this subsection, shall not be construed as affecting the jurisdiction of any such department, agency, or authority, or of the city, with respect to regulatory control or the provision of services by the city, unless such regulatory control or provision of services is directly related to the provision of assistance to the authority regarding code enforcement and administrative actions undertaken in furtherance of the implementation of the tourism district master plan. m.

N.J. Stat. § 5:12-144.1 — NJ Code / Title 5 / Chapter 12 / Section 12-144.1
Imposition of investment alternative tax.
Status: in_force

3. a. (1) Commencing with the first annual tax return of a licensee for any calendar year beginning after December 31, 1983, there is imposed an investment alternative tax on the gross revenues as defined in section 24 of P.L.1977, c.110 (C.5:12-24) of the licensee in the amount of 2.5% of those gross revenues. The tax imposed with respect to each calendar year shall be due and payable on the last day of April next following the end of the calendar year. The State Treasurer shall have a lien against the property constituting the casino of a licensee for the amount of any tax not paid when due. No tax shall be imposed, however, on the gross revenues received by a licensee during the first 12 months of the operation of any casino that commences operation after January 1, 1984, but prior to the effective date of this act, P.L.1996, c.118 (C.5:12-173.3a et al.). (2) A licensee shall pay to the State Treasurer on or before the 15th day of the first, fourth, seventh, and 10th months of each year as partial payment of the investment alternative tax imposed pursuant to paragraph (1) of this subsection an amount equal to 1.25% of the estimated gross revenues for the three-month period immediately preceding the first day of those months. The moneys received shall be placed in an escrow account and shall be held until the licensee directs that the moneys be transferred to the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority for the purchase of bonds issued by or offered through the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority or pursuant to a contract for such a purchase, be made available to the licensee for a direct investment approved by the authority, or be transferred to the Casino Revenue Fund as partial payment of the investment alternative tax imposed pursuant to paragraph (1) of this subsection. Any interest derived from the moneys in the escrow account shall be paid or made available to the Casino Revenue Fund. If a licensee fails to pay the amount due or underpays by an unjustifiable amount, the division shall impose a fine of 5% of the amount due or of the underpayment, as the case may be, for each month or portion thereof the licensee is in default of payment, up to 25% of the amount in default. Any fine imposed shall be paid to the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority and shall be used for the purposes of this 1984 amendatory and supplementary act. b. Each licensee shall be entitled to an investment tax credit against the tax imposed by subsection a. of this section, provided the licensee shall pay over the moneys required pursuant to section 5 of P.L.1993, c.159 (C.5:12-173.5): (1) for the first 10 years of a licensee's tax obligation, in an amount equal to twice the purchase price of bonds issued by the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority pursuant to sections 14 and 15 of this 1984 amendatory and supplementary act, purchased by the licensee, or twice the amount of the investments authorized in lieu thereof, and (2) for the remainder of a licensee's tax obligation, in an amount equal to twice the purchase price of bonds issued by the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority pursuant to sections 14 and 15 of this 1984 amendatory and supplementary act, purchased by the licensee, or twice the amount of the investments authorized in lieu thereof, and twice the amount of investments made by a licensee in other approved eligible investments made pursuant to section 25 of this act. The Casino Reinvestment Development Authority shall have the power to enter into a contract or contracts with a licensee pursuant to which the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority agrees to issue and sell bonds to the licensee, and the licensee agrees to purchase the bonds issued by or offered through the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority, in annual purchase price amounts as will constitute a credit against at least 50% of the tax to become due in any future year or years. The contract may contain those terms and conditions relating to the terms of the bonds and to the issuance and sale of the bonds to the licensee as the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority shall deem necessary or desirable. The contract shall not be deemed to be in violation of section 104 of P.L.1977, c.110 (C.5:12-104). After the first 10 years of a licensee's investment alternative tax obligation, a licensee will have the option of entering into a contract with the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority to have its tax credit comprised of direct investments in approved eligible projects. These direct investments shall not comprise more than 50% of a licensee's eligible tax credit in any one year. The entering of a contract pursuant to this section shall be sufficient to entitle a licensee to an investment tax credit for the appropriate tax year. c. A contract entered into between a licensee and the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority may provide for a deferral of payment for and delivery of bonds required to be purchased and for a deferral from making approved eligible investments in any year, but no deferral shall occur more than two years consecutively. A deferral of payment for any bonds required to be purchased by a licensee and a deferral from making approved eligible investments may be granted by the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority only upon a determination by the Division of Gaming Enforcement that purchase of these bonds or making approved eligible investments would cause extreme financial hardship to the licensee and a determination by the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority that the deferral of the payment would not violate any covenant or agreement or impair any financial obligation of the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority. The contract may establish a late payment charge to be paid in the event of deferral or other late payment at a rate as shall be agreed to by the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority. If a deferral of purchase or investment is granted, the licensee shall be deemed to have made the purchase or investment at the time required by the contract, except that if the purchase is not made at the time to which the purchase or investment was deferred, then the licensee shall be deemed not to have made the purchase or investment. The Division of Gaming Enforcement shall adopt regulations establishing a uniform definition of extreme financial hardship applicable to all these contracts. If a licensee petitions the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority for a deferral, the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority shall give notice of that petition to the Division of Gaming Enforcement within three days of the filing of the petition. The Division of Gaming Enforcement shall render a decision within 60 days of notice as to whether the licensee has established extreme financial hardship. The Casino Reinvestment Development Authority shall render a decision as to the availability of the deferral within 10 days of the receipt by it of the decision of the Division of Gaming Enforcement and shall notify the Division of Gaming Enforcement of that decision. If a deferral is granted, the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority may determine whether the purchases or investments shall be made in a lump sum, made over a period of years, or whether the period of obligation shall be extended an additional period of time equivalent to the period of time deferred. d. The license of any licensee which has defaulted in its obligation to make any purchase of bonds or investment in any approved eligible project under a contract entered into pursuant to subsection b. of this section for a period of 90 days may be suspended by the Casino Control Commission upon report and recommendation of the division until that purchase is made or deferred in accordance with subsection b. of this section, or a fine or other penalty may be imposed upon the licensee by the commission. If the Casino Control Commission elects not to suspend the license of a licensee after the licensee has first defaulted in its obligation the division may instead impose some lesser penalty. In such event, if the licensee continues to be in default of its obligation after a period of 30 additional days and after any additional 30-day period, the division may impose another fine or penalty upon the licensee, and may again recommend that the commission suspend that licensee's license. The fine shall be 5% of the amount of the obligation owed for each month or portion thereof a licensee is in default, up to 25% of that obligation; shall be paid to the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority; and shall be used for the purposes of this 1984 amendatory and supplementary act. e. A contract entered into by a licensee and the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority pursuant to subsection b. of this section may provide that after the first 10 years of a licensee's investment alternative tax obligation imposed by subsection a. of this section, the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority may repurchase bonds previously sold to the licensee, which were issued after the 10th year of a licensee's investment alternative tax obligation, by the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority, if the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority determines that the repurchase will not violate any agreement or covenant or impair any financial obligation of the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority and that the licensee will reinvest the proceeds of the resale in an eligible project approved by the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority. f. (1) During the 50 years a licensee is obligated to pay an investment alternative tax pursuant to subsection k. of this section, the total of (a) the proceeds of all bonds purchased by a licensee from or through the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority and (b) all approved investments in eligible projects by a licensee shall be devoted to the financing of projects in the following areas and amounts: Areas Yrs.

Yrs. 1-3 4-5 6-10 11-15 16-20 21-25 26-30 31-35 36-50 a) Atlantic City 100% 90% 80% 50% 30% 20% b) South Jersey 8% 12% 28% 43% 45% 25% 50% c) North Jersey 2% 8% 22% 27% 35% 35% 50% 50% d) Atlantic City through the Atlantic City Fund 65% 25% except that, with respect to the obligations for calendar years 1994 through 1998, the amount allocated for the financing of projects in North Jersey from each casino licensee's obligation shall be the amount allocated for calendar year 1993, and the difference between that amount and the amount to be allocated to North Jersey, on the basis of the above schedule, from each casino licensee's obligations for calendar years 1994 through 1998 shall be paid into or credited to the Atlantic City Fund established by section 44 of P.L.1995, c.18 (C.5:12-161.1) and be devoted to the financing of projects in Atlantic City through that fund. For the purposes of this paragraph, "South Jersey" means the counties of Atlantic, Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester, Mercer, Ocean, and Salem, except that "South Jersey" shall not include the City of Atlantic City; and "North Jersey" means the remaining 12 counties of the State. For the purposes of this 1984 amendatory and supplementary act, bond "proceeds" means all funds received from the sale of bonds and any funds generated or derived therefrom. In the financing of projects outside Atlantic City, the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority shall give priority to the revitalization of the urban areas of this State in the ways specified in section 12 of this 1984 amendatory and supplementary act. Those areas shall include, but not be limited to, all municipalities qualifying for aid pursuant to P.L.1978, c.14 (C.52:27D-178 et seq.). Within nine months from the effective date of this 1984 amendatory and supplementary act, the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority shall determine the allocation of projected available moneys to municipalities in South Jersey for the first seven years of their receipt of funds, giving priority to the revitalization of the urban areas of the region. Municipalities receiving such an allocation shall present to the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority for its approval comprehensive plans or projects for which the allocations shall be used. Any such comprehensive plan or project may be submitted to the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority for a determination of eligibility at any time prior to the year for which the funds are allocated, and the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority shall make a determination of eligibility of the plan or project within a reasonable amount of time. If the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority makes a positive determination of eligibility for any comprehensive plan or project, or combination of comprehensive plans or projects, for any municipality whose total cost exceeds the amount allocated to that municipality for the first seven years of the receipt of funds by South Jersey municipalities, the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority shall make available sufficient funds in subsequent years necessary to complete those plans or projects, or to complete that portion of the plan or project originally agreed to be funded through the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority, from funds received by the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority in the years following the seventh year of the receipt of funds by South Jersey municipalities. If the comprehensive plan or project is determined by the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority not to be an eligible plan or project, the municipality may submit any other comprehensive plan or project for a determination of eligibility. If, however, the municipality fails to receive a positive determination of eligibility for any comprehensive plan or project, or combination of comprehensive plans or projects, sufficient to exhaust the total allocation to that municipality for any year prior to April 30 of the following year for which the allocation was made, the allocation to that municipality for that year shall cease, and the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority may apply those excess funds to any other comprehensive plan or project in any other municipality in the region whose comprehensive plan or project has received a positive determination of eligibility by the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority. Within 36 months from the effective date of this 1984 amendatory and supplementary act, the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority shall determine the allocation of projected available moneys to municipalities in North Jersey for the first five years of their receipt of funds, giving priority to the revitalization of the urban areas of the region. Municipalities receiving such an allocation shall present to the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority for its approval comprehensive plans or projects for which the allocations shall be used. Any such comprehensive plan or project may be submitted to the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority for a determination of eligibility at any time prior to the year for which the funds are allocated, and the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority shall make a determination of eligibility of the plan or project within a reasonable amount of time. If the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority makes a positive determination of eligibility for any comprehensive plan or project, or combination of comprehensive plans or projects, for any municipality whose total cost exceeds the amount allocated to that municipality for the first five years of the receipt of funds by North Jersey municipalities, the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority shall make available sufficient funds in subsequent years necessary to complete those plans or projects, or to complete that portion of the plan or project originally agreed to be funded through the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority, from funds received by the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority in the years following the fifth year of the receipt of funds by North Jersey municipalities. If the comprehensive plan or project is determined by the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority not to be an eligible plan or project, the municipality may submit any other comprehensive plan or project for a determination of eligibility. If, however, the municipality fails to receive a positive determination of eligibility for any comprehensive plan or project, or combination of comprehensive plans or projects, sufficient to exhaust the total allocation to that municipality for any year prior to April 30 of the following year for which the allocation was made, the allocation to that municipality for that year shall cease, and the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority may apply those excess funds to any other comprehensive plan or project in any other municipality in the region whose comprehensive plan or project has received a positive determination of eligibility by the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority. (2) Commencing with the first year in which a licensee incurs a tax obligation pursuant to this section, and for the period of two years thereafter, 100% of the proceeds of all bonds purchased by a licensee from the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority which are devoted to the financing of projects in the city of Atlantic City pursuant to paragraph (1) of this subsection shall be used exclusively to finance the rehabilitation, development, or construction of, or to provide mortgage financing of, housing facilities in the city of Atlantic City for persons or families of low through middle income, as defined in this subsection. For the purposes of this subsection, the "rehabilitation, development, or construction of housing facilities" shall include expenses attributable to site preparation, infrastructure needs and housing-related community facilities and services, including supporting commercial development. Commencing with the fourth year in which a licensee incurs a tax obligation pursuant to this subsection, 50% of the proceeds of all bonds purchased by a licensee from the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority which are devoted to the financing of projects in the city of Atlantic City shall be used exclusively to finance the rehabilitation, development, or construction of housing facilities in the city of Atlantic City for persons or families of low through middle income. Commencing with the 11th year in which a licensee incurs a tax obligation pursuant to this section, 50% of the annual aggregate of the proceeds of bonds purchased by a licensee from the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority which are devoted to the financing of projects in the city of Atlantic City and investments in approved eligible projects commenced by a licensee in the city of Atlantic City shall be used exclusively to finance the rehabilitation, development, or construction of, or to provide mortgage financing of, housing facilities in the city of Atlantic City for persons or families of low through middle income. (3) The Legislature finds that it is necessary to provide for a balanced community and develop a comprehensive housing program. The Casino Reinvestment Development Authority shall determine the need for housing in the city of Atlantic City, in consultation with the city of Atlantic City and specifically its zoning and planning boards. This shall include determining the types and classes of housing to be constructed and the number of units of each type and class of housing to be built. The Casino Reinvestment Development Authority shall give priority to the housing needs of the persons and their families residing in the city of Atlantic City in 1983 and continuing such residency through the effective date of this 1984 amendatory and supplementary act. The actual percentage of the proceeds of bonds and investments in approved eligible projects commenced by a licensee in the city of Atlantic City, which shall be used exclusively to finance the rehabilitation, development, or construction of, or to provide mortgage financing of, housing facilities in the city of Atlantic City for persons or families of low through middle income, shall be based upon the authority's determination of the need for housing in the city of Atlantic City conducted pursuant to this subsection. Once the housing needs of the persons residing in the city of Atlantic City in 1983 and continuing such residency through the effective date of this 1984 amendatory and supplementary act have been met, as determined by the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority pursuant to this subsection, any required percentages for such housing in the city of Atlantic City may, in its sole discretion, be waived by the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority. To aid the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority in making these determinations, the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority shall review the proposal for a housing redevelopment program and strategy for the city of Atlantic City approved and adopted by the Casino Control Commission and shall give priority to same and any other plan or project which is consistent with the standards of this subsection and is acceptable to the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority, pursuant to section 25 of this 1984 amendatory and supplementary act. The Casino Reinvestment Development Authority may determine whether the funds used to finance housing facilities in the city of Atlantic City for persons or families of low, moderate, median range, and middle income are derived from the proceeds of bonds purchased by a licensee from the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority to be devoted to the financing of projects in the city of Atlantic City, investments in approved eligible projects commenced by a licensee in the city of Atlantic City, or a combination of both. Any investment made by a licensee in excess of 100% of its eligible investment tax credit during the first three years and in excess of 50% thereafter in either the purchase of bonds or direct investments in approved eligible projects for low, moderate, median range, and middle income family housing facilities in the city of Atlantic City may be carried forward and credited against the licensee's obligation to make a 100% investment during the first three years and 50% thereafter in low, moderate, median range, and middle income family housing in any future year, with the approval of the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority. For the purposes of this act, "low income families" means families whose income does not exceed 50% of the median income of the area, with adjustments for smaller and larger families. "Moderate income families" means families whose income does not exceed 80% and is not less than 50% of the median income for the area, with adjustments for smaller and larger families. "Median range income families" means families whose income does not exceed 120% and is not less than 80% of the median income for the area, with adjustments for smaller and larger families. "Middle income families" means families whose income does not exceed 150% and not less than 120% of the median income for the area, with adjustments for smaller and larger families. "Median income" means an income defined as median within the Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area for Atlantic City by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development. In order to achieve a balanced community, the authority shall ensure that the development of housing for families of low and moderate income shall proceed at the same time as housing for families of median range and middle income, until such time as there is no longer a need for such facilities in the city of Atlantic City, as determined by the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority. (4) Notwithstanding any other law or section to the contrary, particularly this subsection regarding the waiver of the required percentages for housing in the city of Atlantic City, subsection i. of section 14, and sections 26, 27, 28, 29, and 31 of this 1984 amendatory and supplementary act, nothing shall be implemented or waived by the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority which would reduce, impair, or prevent the fulfillment of the priorities established and contained in this subsection of this 1984 amendatory and supplementary act. g. If a person is a licensee with regard to more than one approved hotel pursuant to section 82 of P.L.1977, c.110 (C.5:12-82), the person shall separately account for the gross revenues, the investment alternative tax obligations, and the investments for a tax credit against the investment alternative tax for each approved hotel, and the tax obligations of the licensee under this section shall be determined separately for each approved hotel. The licensee may apportion investments between its approved hotels; provided that no amount of investment shall be credited more than once. If a licensee receives the prior approval of the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority, the licensee may make eligible investments in excess of the investments necessary to receive a tax credit against the investment alternative tax for a given calendar year, and the licensee may carry forward this excess investment and have it credited to its next investment alternative tax obligation. If the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority approves of such excess investment and approves the carry forward of this excess investment, and a licensee elects to purchase bonds of the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority or makes direct investments in approved eligible projects in excess of the investments necessary to receive a tax credit against the investment alternative tax for its current obligation, the licensee shall be entitled to a reduction of the amount of investments necessary in future years, which amount shall be determined annually by the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority, taking into account a current market discount rate from the date of the purchase or investment to the date the purchase or investment would have been required to be made. h. Each casino licensee shall prepare and file, in a form prescribed by the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority, an annual return reporting that financial information as shall be deemed necessary by the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority to carry out the provisions of this act. This return shall be filed with the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority and the Division of Gaming Enforcement on or before April 30 following the calendar year on which the return is based. The Division of Gaming Enforcement shall verify to the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority the information contained in the report, to the fullest extent possible. Nothing in this subsection shall be deemed to affect the due dates for making any investment or paying any tax under this section. i. Any purchase by a licensee of bonds issued by or offered through the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority pursuant to sections 14 and 15 of this act and subsection b. of this section and all approved eligible investments made by a licensee pursuant to section 25 of this act and subsection b. of this section are to be considered investments and not taxes owed or grants to the State or any political subdivision thereof. As such, a licensee shall have the possibility of the return of principal and a return on the capital invested as with other investments. Investors in the bonds issued by or offered through the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority shall be provided with an opinion from a recognized financial rating agency or a financial advisory firm with national standing that each loan of bond proceeds by the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority has the minimum characteristics of an investment, in that a degree of assurance exists that interest and principal payments can be made and other terms of the proposed investment be maintained over the period of the investment, and that the loan of the bond proceeds would qualify for a bond rating of "C" or better. If an opinion cannot be obtained from a recognized financial rating agency or a financial advisory firm with national standing, an opinion shall be obtained from an expert financial analyst with national standing, selected and hired by the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority. In order to achieve a balanced portfolio, assure the viability of the authority and the projects, facilities and programs undertaken pursuant to this 1984 amendatory and supplementary act, no more than 25% of the total investments made by or through the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority with the proceeds of bonds generated in each year shall be investments which would qualify for a bond rating of "C," unless all holders of obligations in each year agree to waive the 25% limit for that year. Nothing herein shall be interpreted as limiting the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority from taking any steps it deems appropriate to protect the characteristics of its investment in projects or any other investments from not being real investments with a prospect for the return of principal and a return on the capital invested. Anything contained in this section shall not be considered a guarantee by the State or any political subdivision thereof of any return of principal or interest, but any purchase by a licensee of bonds or approved eligible investments made by a licensee pursuant to this act shall be at the risk of the licensee. A licensee or the licensees purchasing an issue of bonds issued by the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority in any given year may arrange, at their option, for those bonds or the investments, made by or through the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority with the proceeds of those bonds, to be insured. The cost of any such insurance purchased by a licensee or licensees shall be paid by the licensee or licensees desiring such insurance. j. The Casino Reinvestment Development Authority shall promulgate rules and regulations deemed necessary to carry out the purposes of this section. k. The obligation of a licensee to pay an investment alternative tax pursuant to subsection a. of this section, including a casino licensee subject to the provisions of section 13 of P.L.2001, c.221 (C.5:12-173.21), shall end for each licensed facility operated by the licensee 50 years after any investment alternative tax obligation is first incurred in connection with each licensed facility operated by the licensee, unless extended in connection with a deferral granted by the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority pursuant to subsection c. of this section. l. Within 90 days of the effective date of this act, P.L.2004, c.129, the State Treasurer shall certify the amounts that were invested pursuant to this section in South Jersey, as defined in subsection f. of this section, for projects located in the City of Atlantic City. Notwithstanding subsection f. of this section, beginning in State fiscal year 2005, the amount of (a) proceeds of all bonds purchased by a licensee from or through the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority and (b) all approved investments in eligible projects by a licensee devoted pursuant to subsection f., shall not exceed the amount devoted for those purposes in State fiscal year 2004. Any amounts in excess of the amounts devoted in State fiscal year 2004, after fulfilling all fund reservations, bonding and contractual obligations, shall be devoted to the financing of projects in South Jersey. For the purpose of this section, "South Jersey" means the counties of Atlantic, Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester, Mercer, Ocean, and Salem, except that the term shall not include the City of Atlantic City. The provisions of this subsection shall terminate when excess amounts devoted to the financing of projects in South Jersey equal the amount certified by the State Treasurer.
