Creation of financial review board for municipality.
Status: in_force

5. a. Upon a finding by the director that an eligible municipality possesses conditions that create extreme difficulty in adopting a budget in compliance with the "Local Budget Law," N.J.S.40A:4-1 et seq., in issuing indebtedness as permitted by law, or in funding capital improvements essential to the protection of the public health, safety, and welfare, the board may create, by resolution, a financial review board for that municipality. b. A financial review board shall be authorized to approve, implement and enforce a financial plan for any municipality in which it has been created. A financial review board so created shall consist of five members, one of whom shall be the mayor of the municipality or the mayor's designee; one of whom shall be appointed by the Governor and shall be a resident of the municipality who is not an elected official or employee of the municipality; one of whom shall be the Commissioner of the Department of Community Affairs or the commissioner's designee; one of whom shall be the State Treasurer or the Treasurer's designee; and one of whom shall be appointed by the Governor and shall be an officer of the Executive Branch of State government. The financial review board shall exercise its powers and duties under rules and regulations adopted by the board. A municipality subject to a financial review board shall establish a financial plan, subject to the financial review board's approval, to address the budgetary, operational, capital and economic development needs of the municipality. The financial review board shall also have the power to approve: the annual budget of the municipality, the issuance of debt, all contracts entered into during the time of supervision of the financial review board, and municipal expenditures, if so directed by the board, to the extent that the financial review board shall specify. The financial review board may delegate to the municipality such of its powers, under such circumstances and subject to such conditions, as it may determine. A financial review board shall operate until such time that the board finds that the conditions that led to the creation of the financial review board have been substantially abated. c. At the end of each year of its operation the financial review board shall report to the board on its activities. The report shall include: a review of the financial review board's activities generally; the status of the municipality's finances; recommendations concerning the municipality's fiscal condition; the criteria for municipal performance which will lead the financial review board to recommend to the board that the financial review board be dissolved; a review of the municipality's economic development needs, and policy recommendations that would achieve those goals; comment on the municipality's compliance with the financial review board's directives; and any other information the financial review board deems necessary. After review, a copy of the financial review board's report and any comments of the board shall be forwarded to Governor, the Senate President, the Senate Minority Leader, the Speaker of the General Assembly, and the Assembly Minority Leader. d. The board shall review the status of each municipality in which a financial review board has been created at least each two years, at which time the municipality shall be given the opportunity to demonstrate why the financial review board should be ended or its role modified. The board shall determine whether the municipality shall continue to be subject to the oversight of the financial review board and if the conditions that led to the creation of the financial review board have been substantially abated, and shall take such other actions as the board deems appropriate in light of the municipality's financial condition.

Findings, declarations relative to health care costs.
Status: in_force

1. The Legislature finds and declares that: a. The cost of health care in this country has been increasing at a pace that will make our current system of health care delivery unsustainable on its present trajectory. b. As health care costs continue to rise more quickly than the average annual income, those costs displace other priorities for individuals, such as saving for retirement or their children's education, and even discourage people from obtaining recommended health care. The litany of research in this area has demonstrated that all necessary action must be taken to reduce costs wherever possible. c. One way to reduce costs is to increase the oversight that a self-insured employer, such as the State, exercises over health care programs, as occurs when hiring a third-party medical claims reviewer to examine claims processing. d. Hiring a third-party medical claims reviewer to provide regular, frequent, and ongoing review and oversight of the claims process, which process includes, but is not limited to, the receipt, management, adjudication, and payment of claims, serves the best interests of the State, participating employers, and the thousands of employees and their dependents covered under the State Health Benefits Program and the School Employees' Health Benefits Program. A third-party medical claims reviewer would act in the best interests of the State, participating employers, and program participants, work toward identifying and eliminating systemic errors, recover overpayments, and ensure that only the required and appropriate amounts due and owing on claims are paid as a result of proper adjudication. e. For the purpose of facilitating greater efficiency and transparency in the adjudication of health benefits claims to State employees, their eligible family members, and participating local government and education employees and their eligible family members, the State of New Jersey deems it fitting and crucial to procure a third-party medical claims reviewer expeditiously, with a goal for implementation in the plan year beginning in January of 2020.

Beginning in State Fiscal Year 2024, and in each State fiscal year thereafter, the amount to be appropriated to the enterprise zone assistance fund and made available to fulfill the purposes set forth in section 29 of P.L.1983, c.303 (C.52:27H-88) shall be determined as follows: After January 1 but prior to June 30, the State Treasurer, in consultation with the UEZ Authority, shall develop a methodology to compare the combined State tax expenditures for the Urban Enterprise Zone Special Sales Tax Rate and Urban Enterprise Zone Exempt Business Purchases in the prior State fiscal year with the ZAF base fund amount to calculate the savings achieved by P.L.2021, c.197. The savings determined shall be the amount appropriated to the enterprise zone assistance fund to fulfill the purposes set forth in section 29 of P.L.1983, c.303 (C.52:27H-88) for the State fiscal year. b. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection a. of this section, for State Fiscal Year 2023 and thereafter, the amount appropriated to the enterprise zone assistance fund and made available to fulfill the purposes set forth in section 29 of P.L.1983, c.303 (C.52:27H-88) shall not exceed $82,500,000, and in Fiscal Year 2024, and in each year thereafter, $82,500,000 as adjusted annually based on the percentage change in the 12-month Consumer Price Index from June 30 to July 1 of each year, and shall be no less than $60,000,000.

Findings, declarations relative to plaques honoring Senator Hutchins F. Inge and Assemblyman Walter Gilbert Alexander.
Status: in_force

1. The Legislature finds and declares that: a. In 1966, Dr. Hutchins F. Inge of Newark became the first African-American to serve in the New Jersey State Senate and in 1921, Dr. Walter Gilbert Alexander of Orange became the first African-American to serve in the New Jersey General Assembly; b. At the time Senator Inge took office, he had already established himself as a distinguished citizen of our State, having graduated from both the University of Minnesota College of Pharmacy and Howard University School of Medicine and serving on the staff of Presbyterian Hospital; c. Senator Inge had also served his community with distinction, as a director of the Essex Urban League and the New Jersey Association for Retarded Children, and as a staff physician for the Newark Board of Health's Division of Child Hygiene; d. During Senator Inge's tenure in the Senate, he served as the chairman of the Senate Federal and Interstate Relations Committee, and was a supporter of measures to aid education, transportation, and housing; e. Walter Gilbert Alexander was born in Lynchburg, Virginia on December 3, 1880, and was the son of former slaves; f. At the age of fourteen, he entered Lincoln University as the youngest student in his class and the youngest student that had ever matriculated at that university; g. Walter Gilbert Alexander graduated from Lincoln University magna cum laude in 1899, having won the Bradley Medal in natural science and being honored as the Latin Salutatorian of his class; h. After graduation, he entered the Boston College of Physicians and Surgeons, and graduated in June 1903 after winning first prize for his thesis; i. A distinguished physician, he served as General Secretary and later President of the National Medical Association; j. During Assemblyman Alexander's tenure in the Assembly, he served on committees concerning epileptics and public health, and sponsored legislation addressing civil rights and health care; k.

Upon the exercise by the Authority of the power of eminent domain pursuant to paragraph h of section ten of this act, the compensation to be paid thereunder shall be ascertained and paid in the manner provided in chapter one of Title 20 of the Revised Statutes in so far as the provisions thereof are applicable and not inconsistent with the provisions contained in this act. Upon the filing of the complaint in the action for condemnation or at any time thereafter the Authority may file with the Clerk of the Superior Court a declaration of taking, signed by the Authority, declaring that possession of one or more of the tracts or parcels of land or property described in the complaint is thereby being taken by and for the use of the Authority. The said declaration of taking shall be sufficient if it sets forth (1) a description of each tract or parcel of land or property to be so taken, sufficient for the identification thereof, to which there may or may not be attached a plan or map thereof; (2) a statement of the estate or interest in the said land or property being taken; (3) a statement of the sum of money estimated by the Authority by resolution to be just compensation for the taking of the estate or interest in each tract or parcel of land or property described in said declaration; and (4) that, in compliance with the provisions of this act, the Authority has established and is maintaining a trust fund as hereinafter provided. Upon the filing of the said declaration, the Authority shall, with leave of court, deposit with the clerk of the court the amount of the estimated compensation stated in said declaration. In addition to the said deposits with the clerk the Authority at all times shall maintain a special trust fund on deposit with a bank or trust company doing business in this State in an amount at least equal to twice the aggregate amount deposited with the Clerk of the Superior Court as estimated compensation for all property described in declarations of taking with respect to which the compensation has not been finally determined and paid to the persons entitled thereto or into court. The Authority shall be entitled to withdraw from said trust fund from time to time so much as may then be in excess of twice such aggregate amount. Said trust fund shall consist of cash or securities readily convertible into cash constituting legal investments for trust funds under the laws of this State. Said trust fund shall be held solely to secure and may be applied to the payment of just compensation for the land or other property described in such declaration of taking. Upon the filing of the said declaration as aforesaid and the deposit with the Clerk of the Superior Court of the amount of the estimated compensation stated in said declaration, the Authority, without other process or proceeding, shall be entitled to the exclusive possession and use of each tract of land or property described in said declaration and may forthwith enter into and take possession of said land or property, it being the intent of this provision that the action for fixing compensation or any other proceeding relating to the taking of said land or interest therein or other property shall not delay the taking of possession thereof and the use thereof by the Authority for the purpose or purposes for which the Authority is authorized by law to acquire or condemn such land or other property or interest therein. The Authority shall cause notice of the filing of said declaration and the making of said deposit to be served, as the court shall prescribe, upon each party to the action for condemnation, but not until after the filing of the declaration and the making of the deposit. Upon the application of any party in interest and after notice to other parties in interest, including the Authority, the court may direct that the money deposited with the clerk of the court or any part thereof be paid forthwith to the person or persons entitled thereto for or on account of the just compensation to be adjudged to be due him in the action for condemnation; provided, that each such person shall have filed with the clerk of the court a consent in writing that, in the event the amount adjudged to be due him in the condemnation action shall be less than the amount deposited, the court, after notice as herein provided and hearing, may determine his liability, if any, for the return of such difference or any part thereof and enter judgment therefor. If the amount adjudged to be due him shall exceed the amount so deposited, he shall be entitled to recover from the Authority the excess with interest at the rate of six per centum (6%) per annum thereon from the date of making the deposit. If the amount adjudged to be due him shall be less than the amount so deposited, the clerk of the court shall return the difference between such amounts unless the amount of the deposit or any part thereof shall have theretofore been distributed, in which event the court, after such notice as it shall prescribe and an opportunity to be heard, shall enter judgment in favor of the Authority for such difference against the party or parties liable for the return thereof.
