Findings, declarations.
Status: in_force

2. The Legislature finds and declares that: a. New Jersey's system of policing and incarceration has staggering racial disparities. b. Since 2015, fatal police encounters in New Jersey have resulted in the deaths at least 86 members of the public. Almost half, or 48 percent, of those who lost their lives were Black. c. New Jersey has one of the highest racial disparities among victims of police violence in the country: Black New Jersey residents are killed at a rate 8.3 times higher than white residents. d. Between October of 2020 and February of 2021, there have been over 3,500 documented police use-of-force incidents across the State. Of these incidents, at least 46 percent involved police using force on Black individuals. e. According to studies, individuals with untreated severe mental illness are involved in one-fourth of all fatal police encounters, making those with untreated mental illness 16 times more likely to be killed by a police officer. f. Over the last few years, 911 calls for mental health crises in New Jersey have increased exponentially. g. In 2012, New Jersey passed the Overdose Prevention Act, which includes Good Samaritan protections that are intended to encourage people to call 911 if they are with a person who is experiencing an overdose. Yet, research on the effectiveness of Good Samaritan laws shows that overdose bystanders continue to delay or refrain from calling 911 due to fear of police involvement, social penalties, and stigma. h. According to national studies, the majority of all police killings in the United States escalate from nonviolent situations, such as traffic stops, mental health checks, and domestic disputes. i. Current research demonstrates that police-centered models of public safety have far-reaching harms, especially for young Black men. Even in the absence of violence, frequent police stops are linked to adverse mental health outcomes, including anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. j. Other jurisdictions have found that responding to a variety of calls for service, especially those that involve a mental health crisis, with an alternative crisis response team not only reduces the possibility of escalation and thus use of force, but also provides monetary savings to the cities implementing these models. k. Research on the state of policing shows that front-line officers are experiencing physical and mental health challenges related to burnout and the cumulative stress of responding to behavioral health incidents.

Issuance of securities.
Status: in_force

7. a. The corporation shall have the power and is hereby authorized from time to time to issue securities in principal amount or amounts as the corporation shall determine to be necessary to provide sufficient funds for achieving its authorized purposes, consisting of the purchase of all or a portion of a qualified municipality's tax liens pursuant to section 5 of this act and the payment of or provision for financing costs. (1) The issuance of securities shall be authorized by a corporation resolution. Other than the express written consent of the State Treasurer, securities (including securities issued to refund securities) may be issued without obtaining the consent of any department, division, commission, board, bureau or agency of a qualified municipality and without any other proceedings or the occurrence of any other conditions or other things other than those proceedings, conditions or things which are specifically required by this act. Every issue of securities shall be special revenue obligations payable from, and secured, in whole or in part, by a pledge of encumbered tax liens or other assets, or both, including, without limitation, those proceeds of the securities deposited in a reserve fund for the benefit of the owners of the securities, earnings on funds of the corporation and other funds as may become available, as specified by the corporation in the corporation resolution pursuant to which the securities are issued or in a related trust agreement, indenture or sale agreement. (2) The corporation may issue securities to refund any securities by the issuance of new securities, whenever it deems refunding expedient, whether the securities to be refunded have or have not matured, and may issue securities partly to refund securities then outstanding and partly for any of its other authorized purposes. The refunding securities may be exchanged for the securities to be refunded or sold and the proceeds applied to the purchase, redemption or payment of the securities. b. Each issue of securities shall be dated, shall bear interest (which under the code may be includable in or excludable from the gross income tax of the owners for federal income tax purposes) at such fixed or variable rates, payable at or prior to maturity, and shall mature at such time or times, as may be determined by the corporation and may be made redeemable before maturity, at the option of the corporation, at such price or prices and under such terms and conditions as may be fixed by the corporation. The principal and interest of the securities may be made payable in any lawful medium. The corporation shall determine the form of the securities, either coupon, registered or book entry form, and the manner of execution of the securities and shall fix the denomination or denominations of the securities and the place or places of payment of principal and interest thereof, which may be at any bank or trust company within or without a qualified municipality. If any officer whose signature or a facsimile thereof appears on any securities shall cease to be the officer before the delivery of the securities, the signature or facsimile shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes as if he or she had remained in office until delivery. The securities may be issued in coupon or in registered form or both, as the corporation may determine, and provisions may be made for the registration of any coupon securities as to principal alone, interest alone and as to both principal and interest and for the reconversion of any securities registered as to both principal and interest into coupon securities. The corporation may also provide for temporary securities and for the replacement of any security that shall become mutilated or shall be destroyed or lost. c. The corporation may sell the securities in any manner, either at public or private sale and on either a competitive or negotiated basis. The proceeds of the securities shall be disbursed for the purposes for which the securities were issued as the act, the sale agreement and the corporation resolution authorizing the issuance of the securities or the related trust agreement or indenture may provide. d. Any pledge made by the corporation shall be valid and binding at the time the pledge is made. The revenues, reserves or earnings so pledged, or earnings on the investment thereof, shall immediately be subject to the lien of the pledge without any physical delivery thereof or further act, and the lien of the pledge shall be valid and binding as against all parties having claims of any kind in tort, contract or otherwise against the corporation, irrespective of whether the parties have notice thereof. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, neither the corporation resolution nor any trust agreement or indenture or other instrument by which a pledge is created, or by which the corporation's interest in the encumbered tax liens, reserves or earnings thereon or in properties acquired by the corporation as a result of the foreclosure or other liquidation of tax liens is assigned, need be filed or recorded in any public records in order to protect the pledge thereof, or perfect the lien thereof, as against third parties, except that a copy thereof shall be filed in the records of the corporation. e. Notwithstanding the provisions of any other law to the contrary, any securities issued pursuant to this act shall be fully negotiable within the meaning and for all purposes of Title 12A of the New Jersey Statutes, and each owner of such a security or other obligation, by accepting the security shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed that the security is and shall be fully negotiable within the meaning and for all purposes of Title 12A. f. In the discretion of the corporation, any securities and any ancillary facilities may be secured by a trust agreement or indenture by and between the corporation and the trustee thereunder, which may be any trust company or bank having the powers of a trust company, whether located within or without the State. A trust agreement or indenture or corporation resolution providing for the issuance of securities may provide for the creation and maintenance of such reserves as the corporation shall determine to be proper and may include covenants setting forth the duties of the corporation in relation to the securities, the ancillary facilities, the income to the corporation, the sale agreement, the encumbered tax liens and residual interests. The trust agreement, indenture or corporation resolution may contain provisions respecting the servicing of the tax liens, the custody, safeguarding and application of all moneys and securities, and may contain such provisions for protecting and enforcing the rights and remedies (pursuant thereto and to the sale agreement) of the owners of the securities and benefitted parties as may be reasonable and proper and not in violation of law. It shall be lawful for any bank or trust company incorporated under the laws of the State which may act as depository of the proceeds of securities or of any other funds or obligations received on behalf of the corporation to furnish such indemnifying bonds or to pledge such obligations as may be required by the corporation. Any trust agreement or indenture or corporation resolution may contain such other provisions as the corporation may deem reasonable and proper for priorities and subordination among the owners of the securities and benefitted parties. g. The corporation may enter into, amend or terminate, as it determines to be necessary or appropriate, any ancillary facilities to facilitate the issuance, sale, resale, purchase, repurchase or payment of securities. The determination of the corporation that an ancillary facility or the amendment or termination thereof is necessary or appropriate as aforesaid shall be conclusive. The ancillary facility shall be made upon the terms and conditions established by the corporation, including, without limitation, provisions as to security, default, termination, payment, remedy and consent to service of process. h. The corporation may enter into, amend or terminate any ancillary facility as it determines to be necessary or appropriate to place the obligations or investments of the corporation, as represented by the securities or the investment of their proceeds, in whole or in part, on the interest rate, cash flow or other basis desired by the corporation. These contracts or arrangements may be entered into by the corporation in connection with, or incidental to, entering into, or maintaining any (1) agreement which secures securities of the corporation or (2) investment, or contract providing for investments, of reserves or similar facility guaranteeing an investment rate for a period of years. The determination by the corporation that an ancillary facility or the amendment or termination thereof is necessary or appropriate as aforesaid shall be conclusive. Any ancillary facility may contain such payment, security, default, remedy, termination provisions and payments, and other terms and conditions as determined by the corporation, after giving due consideration to the creditworthiness of the counterparty or other obligated party, including, without limitation, any rating by any nationally recognized rating agency, and any other criteria as may be appropriate. i. Securities and ancillary facilities may contain a recital that they are issued pursuant to this act, which recital shall be conclusive evidence of their validity, the validity of any ancillary facility and the regularity of the proceedings relating thereto. j. Neither the members of the corporation nor any other person executing the securities or an ancillary facility shall be subject to any personal liability or accountability by reason of the issuance or execution and delivery thereof.

Findings, declarations
Status: in_force

1. The Legislature finds and declares that: a.

Persons who have particularized property interests or who are directly affected by a permitting decision have constitutional and statutory rights and remedies; c. To allow State agencies without specific statutory authorization to promulgate rules and regulations which afford third parties, who have no particularized property interests or who are not directly affected by a permitting decision, to appeal that decision would give rise to a chaotic unpredictability and instability that would be most disconcerting to New Jersey's business climate and would cripple economic development in our State; and d. It is, therefore, altogether fitting and proper, and within the public interest, to prohibit State agencies from promulgating rules and regulations which would allow third party appeals of permit decisions unless specifically authorized to do so by federal law or State statute.

Findings, determinations
Status: in_force

2. The Legislature finds and determines that: The Department of Environmental Protection is one of the largest executive agencies in the State, and exerts considerable influence on the economy and quality of life in the State; In recent years, revenues from fees generated by departmental enforcement and other activities have accounted for a steadily increasing percentage of total departmental revenues; A significant percentage of fee revenues is anticipated by the department each state fiscal year as "off-budget" or "below the line" revenue, for which inadequate program data or no program data are provided to the Legislature; This deleterious trend is clearly illustrated by the Governor's proposed budget for the 1992 State fiscal year, in which the department anticipates receiving over $161 million in fees and fines, only $59.7 million, or a mere 37% of which is anticipated "on budget;" It is the Constitutional responsibility of the Legislature to adopt a budget for each State fiscal year, and, as a fundamental principle of sound fiscal policy, the Legislature must be able to perform a detailed evaluation of major State spending programs; It is, therefore, entirely proper and in the interest of the people of this State, that the Legislature require the Department of Environmental Protection to include, as part of its annual budget proposal, all fee revenues and anticipated fee revenues as "on budget" or "above the line" items, to provide the same date for the programs funded by those revenues as is provided for other spending programs, and to make such information available to the budget committees and the key environmental policy committees in the Legislature; and It is also entirely proper, and in the interest of the people of this State, that the Legislature require the State Treasurer, in preparing the Governor's proposed budget for each State fiscal year, to include all anticipated fee revenues for the department "on budget," or "above the line," and to include these fees and the appropriate program information in the public document containing that proposed budget.

Findings, declarations relative to Fort Monmouth economic revitalization.
Status: in_force

2. The Legislature finds and declares that: a. The closure and revitalization of Fort Monmouth is a matter of great concern for the host municipalities of Eatontown, Oceanport, and Tinton Falls; for Monmouth County; and for the State of New Jersey. b. The economies, environment, and quality of life of the host municipalities, Monmouth County, and the State will benefit from the efficient, coordinated, and comprehensive redevelopment and revitalization of Fort Monmouth. The Fort Monmouth Economic Revitalization Planning Authority was established pursuant to P.L.2006, c.16 (C.52:27I-1 et seq.) to plan for the comprehensive conversion and revitalization of Fort Monmouth, so as to encourage enlightened land use and to create employment and other business opportunities for the benefit of the host municipalities, of that county and the entire State. On September 4, 2008, the Fort Monmouth Economic Revitalization Planning Authority submitted a comprehensive conversion and revitalization plan for Fort Monmouth, known as the "Fort Monmouth Reuse and Redevelopment Plan," and a homeless assistance submission to the United States Department of Defense and the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development, as required under the applicable federal Base Closure and Realignment law and regulations. The Fort Monmouth Reuse and Redevelopment Plan is the result of an extensive, coordinated, and collaborative process conducted by the Fort Monmouth Economic Revitalization Planning Authority, and reflects input from the host municipalities, Monmouth County, State departments and agencies and the general public as to the future of Fort Monmouth. c. Upon acceptance by the United States Department of Defense and the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development as required under applicable federal Base Closure and Realignment law and regulations, the Fort Monmouth Reuse and Redevelopment Plan will constitute the plan for the redevelopment and revitalization of Fort Monmouth to be implemented pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of this act. d. A coordinated and comprehensive redevelopment and revitalization of Fort Monmouth will be facilitated by establishing and empowering a new authority, to be known as the "Fort Monmouth Economic Revitalization Authority," to implement the Fort Monmouth Reuse and Redevelopment Plan, including the adoption of any modifications or amendments to the Fort Monmouth Reuse and Redevelopment Plan and the adoption of development and design guidelines and land use regulations in furtherance thereof, as provided in this act. e. The New Jersey Economic Development Authority (EDA) has substantial and significant experience with partnering with local communities and leveraging public-private partnerships. The EDA manages large scale, redevelopment projects, utilizes a system of internal controls and procedures to ensure the integrity of redevelopment activities, and maintains a staff with a wide range of experience in redevelopment projects, real estate, finance, and job creation. To this end, an office is to be created within the EDA staffed by such EDA employees on a part or full time basis as the EDA determines necessary to carry out the functions of the office. f. Furthermore, because of the experience and expertise of the EDA in redevelopment projects, it is appropriate to authorize the authority established by this act to enter into a designated redevelopment agreement with the EDA for the redevelopment of Fort Monmouth. The activities of the EDA as a designated redeveloper pursuant to the designated redevelopment agreement are to be accounted for, managed and supervised separately and apart from the activities of the office established by this act, notwithstanding the possible sharing of staff between the EDA's activities as a designated redeveloper and EDA's activities in staffing the office. g. The host municipalities have an ongoing interest in the implementation of the plan, and the planning boards of the host municipalities have knowledge, expertise, and experience as well as procedures in place for reviewing and approving proposed subdivisions and site plans as provided in this act.
