In the event any permitholder should reject any or all of the days to which they are entitled or which they are allotted by the commission, the commission may allot those days, or any of them, among the remaining permitholders. Such allotment shall be on a basis which in the discretion of the commission appears most appropriate for the purpose of providing continuity of racing in the State and where the commission finds such allotment to be in the public interest; and provided, further, that such permitholder has not violated any of the provisions of this act.

Every security issued by a corporation which holds a casino license shall bear, on both sides of the certificate evidencing such security, a statement of the restrictions imposed by this section, except that in the case of a publicly traded corporation incorporated prior to the effective date of this act, a statement of restriction shall be necessary only insofar as certificates are issued by such corporation after the effective date of this act. c. The Secretary of State shall not accept for filing any articles of incorporation of any corporation which includes as a stated purpose the conduct of casino gaming, or any amendment which adds such purpose to articles of incorporation already filed, unless such articles or amendments have been approved by the commission and a copy of such approval is annexed thereto upon presentation for filing with the Secretary of State. d. If at any time the division reports to the commission that an individual owner or holder of any security of a corporate licensee or of a holding or intermediary company with respect thereto is not qualified under this act, and if as a result the corporate licensee is no longer qualified to continue as a casino licensee in this State, the commission shall, pursuant to the provisions of this act, and upon the report and input of the division, take any necessary action to protect the public interest, including the suspension or revocation of the casino license of the corporation; provided, however, that if the holding or intermediary company is a publicly traded corporation and the commission finds disqualified any holder of any security thereof who is required to be qualified under section 85d. of this act, and the commission also finds that: (1) the holding or intermediary company has complied with the provisions of section 82d.(7) of this act; (2) the holding or intermediary company has made a good faith effort, including the prosecution of all legal remedies, to comply with any order of the commission or the division requiring the divestiture of the security interest held by the disqualified holder; and (3) such disqualified holder does not have the ability to control the corporate licensee or any holding or intermediary company with respect thereto, or to elect one or more members of the board of directors of such corporation or company, the commission shall not take action against the casino licensee or the holding or intermediary company with respect to the continued ownership of the security interest by the disqualified holder.

While the New Jersey Sports Hall of Fame has taken the lead during the past twenty years in honoring many New Jersey athletes who have distinguished themselves in the world of sports, it is entirely fitting and proper to establish a broader-based hall of fame project that would allow the State to promote the accomplishments of such individuals who have excelled in many different fields of endeavor in addition to sports; c. Other states including South Carolina and South Dakota have successfully established and operated their own hall of fame projects for over 30 years and have utilized such projects to not only improve their state's image but to also raise millions of dollars for their respective halls of fame; d. It is therefore in the public interest for this State to publicly recognize the unique achievements of outstanding New Jerseyans from many diverse fields through the creation of a New Jersey Hall of Fame in order to honor outstanding persons from New Jersey for their contributions in many different fields of endeavor, and to utilize revenues obtained from the New Jersey Hall of Fame events and ceremonies to support the funding of the New Jersey Hall of Fame and to contribute to charitable organizations that directly benefit children in need in New Jersey and throughout the world.

Findings, declaration relative to CRDA urban revitalization program
Status: in_force

2. The Legislature finds and declares that: a. Legalized casino gambling was approved by New Jersey's voters in 1976 as a "unique tool of urban redevelopment" to facilitate the revitalization of Atlantic City and other distressed municipalities throughout the State; b. The Legislature created the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority (the "CRDA") to oversee the investment of casino gambling revenues for development projects in Atlantic City and other areas throughout the State; c. During the past 25 years, the development of Atlantic City's multi-billion dollar casino industry and the CRDA's investment of hundreds of millions of dollars in housing, commercial and nonprofit projects have greatly benefited the people of New Jersey and have served as a model for many other states and countries that wished to emulate Atlantic City's successful record of casino development and economic growth; d. It is altogether fitting and proper on the occasion of the 25th year of legalized casino gaming in Atlantic City to establish a new program to facilitate the next phase of Atlantic City's development into a regional, national and international "destination resort" and at the same time, to insure that substantial commitments are made to projects to revitalize urban areas and promote continued economic growth throughout the State.

Debt service reserve fund; limitation on issuance of bonds; accumulation of moneys; nonliability of state or its political subdivisions
Status: in_force

a. The authority may create and establish a reserve fund in connection with the issuance of bonds to finance the initial project to be known as the debt service reserve fund and may pay into such reserve fund (1) any moneys appropriated and made available by the State for the purposes of such fund, (2) any proceeds of sale of such bonds to the extent provided in the resolution of the authority authorizing the issuance thereof, and (3) any other moneys which may be made available to the authority for the purposes of such fund from any other source or sources. The moneys held in or credited to the debt service reserve fund established under this section, except as hereinafter provided, shall be used solely for the payment of the principal of such bonds of the authority secured by such reserve fund, as the same mature or become due, the purchase or retirement of such bonds, the payment of interest on such bonds or the payment of any redemption premium required to be paid when such bonds are redeemed prior to maturity; provided, however, that moneys in such fund shall not be withdrawn therefrom at any time in such amount as would reduce the amount of such fund to less than the maximum debt service reserve (as hereinafter defined) with respect to such bonds then outstanding and secured by such reserve fund, except for the purpose of paying the principal of, interest on, the premium, if any, on, and the retirement of, such bonds secured by such reserve fund maturing or becoming due and for the payment of which other moneys of the authority are not available. Maximum debt service reserve as used in this section shall mean, as of any date of calculation and with respect to such bonds secured by the debt service reserve fund, the largest amount of money required by the terms of any contracts of the authority with the holders of such bonds to be provided in any succeeding calendar year for the payment of interest on and serial maturities of such bonds then outstanding and payments required by the terms of any such contracts to be made to sinking funds established for the payment or redemption of such bonds, calculated on the assumption that such bonds will cease to be outstanding after the date of such calculation only by reason of the payment of such bonds at their respective maturities and the making of required payments to sinking funds and the application thereof in accordance with the terms of such contracts to the retirement of such bonds. Any income or interest earned by, or increment to, the debt service reserve fund due to the investment thereof may be transferred to any other fund or account of the authority to the extent it does not reduce the amount of such debt service reserve fund below the maximum debt service reserve with respect to such bonds of the authority then outstanding and secured by such reserve fund. b. The authority shall not issue bonds at any time if the maximum debt service reserve with respect to such bonds outstanding and then to be issued and secured by the debt service reserve fund will exceed the amount of such reserve fund at the time of issuance, unless the authority, at the time of issuance of such bonds, shall deposit in such reserve fund from the proceeds of such bonds so to be issued, or otherwise, an amount which, together with the amount then in such reserve fund, will be not less than the maximum debt service reserve with respect to such bonds then to be issued and on all other bonds of the authority then outstanding and secured by such reserve fund. c. To assure the continued operation and solvency of the authority for the carrying out of the public purposes of the act, provision is made hereinabove in this section for the accumulation in the debt service reserve fund of an amount equal to the maximum debt service reserve with respect to all bonds of the authority then outstanding and secured by such reserve fund. In order further to assure the maintenance of such debt service reserve fund, there shall be annually appropriated and paid to the authority for deposit in the debt service reserve fund such sum, if any, as shall be certified by the chairman of the authority to the Governor as necessary to restore such reserve fund to an amount equal to the maximum debt service reserve with respect to such bonds of the authority then outstanding and secured by such reserve fund. The chairman of the authority shall annually, on or before March 1, make and deliver to the Governor his certificate stating the sum, if any, required to restore the debt service reserve fund of the authority to the amount aforesaid, and the sum or sums so certified, if any, shall be appropriated and paid to the authority for deposit in such debt service reserve fund of the authority prior to the end of the first calendar month of the next succeeding State fiscal year. Any payments to be made by the State to the authority as aforesaid for deposit in such debt service reserve fund are subject to and dependent upon appropriations being made from time to time by the State Legislature for such purpose. d. In computing the debt service reserve fund for the purposes of this section, securities in which all or a portion of such debt service reserve fund shall be invested shall be valued at par, or if purchased at less than par, at their cost to the authority. e. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to cause the bonds or notes of the authority to be in any way a debt or a liability of the State or any political subdivision thereof other than the authority, and the bonds and notes of the authority, whether or not payable from the debt service reserve fund created and established pursuant to this section, shall not create or constitute any indebtedness, liability or obligation of the State or any such political subdivision or be or constitute a pledge of the faith and credit of the State or of any such political subdivision. f. For purposes of this section, initial project shall mean the initial development of the meadowlands complex as determined by the authority, and shall consist of (1) a football stadium to seat approximately 76,500 persons, (2) a racetrack and related facilities for both thoroughbred and harness horse racing, (3) roadways, parking and other support facilities therefor, and environmental facilities in connection therewith, together with all land and rights in land, structures and improvements, and other facilities and appurtenances related thereto.

Findings, declarations relative to the "New Jersey Meadowlands Tax Relief Act."
Status: in_force

83. The Legislature finds and declares that: a. The New Jersey Meadowlands Commission is the zoning and planning agency for a 30.4-square-mile area along the Hackensack River known as the Hackensack Meadowlands, covering parts of 14 municipalities in Bergen and Hudson Counties in New Jersey. The Meadowlands Regional Commission will oversee the development, and redevelopment, of the Hackensack Meadowlands in an orderly and comprehensive fashion, with special consideration to the ecological factors constituting the environment of the Hackensack Meadowlands. b. A vital component of the comprehensive plan for the development of the Hackensack Meadowlands was an intermunicipal tax-sharing program. The intermunicipal tax sharing program was established to create a fair and equitable method of distributing the benefits and costs of economic development and land use decisions made by the New Jersey Meadowlands Commission among the 14 municipalities located in the Meadowlands District. Under this program, as originally conceived, the municipalities with fewer development restrictions are required to deposit a share of their tax ratables into a special intermunicipal account administered by the commission. Money in this account is annually distributed to the municipalities with greater development restrictions to make up for their loss of tax ratable growth opportunity. c. The New Jersey Meadowlands Commission, the predecessor to the Meadowlands Regional Commission, has been successful in providing orderly and comprehensive development, solid waste management, and environmental protection in the Hackensack Meadowlands District, as well as providing for the investment of many millions of dollars in development, municipal services, and significant infrastructure projects, among other things. d. It is fitting and proper to establish new sources of funding to replace the intermunicipal tax sharing program in order to facilitate the future of the Hackensack Meadowlands District as a vibrant area of economic growth in the State of New Jersey, as well as a tourism destination and an area of continued environmental significance and improvement. The new sources of funding should recognize the concerns of the district's seven municipalities that must contribute significant amounts of property tax dollars to the intermunicipal tax sharing program. These municipalities have been especially challenged to provide services to municipal residents and contribute to the intermunicipal tax sharing program, while operating under the significant restrictions of the 2% property tax levy cap. In effect, the cost of the State policy to preserve the Hackensack Meadowlands has been borne by the property taxpayers of the seven municipalities required to deposit tax revenue into the intermunicipal account. e. It is also appropriate and necessary to recognize the consistent impact on the Hackensack Meadowlands District of tourist-related activities and attractions, including sports and entertainment activities and construction at the properties located in the heart of the district, and to require that patrons of those tourist-related activities and attractions shall contribute to the financial needs of the municipalities that comprise the Meadowlands district in order to reduce the property tax burden on their residents.

Following the matching of the exchange wager to an identically opposing wager or wagers, and determination of the outcome of the horse race or races on which the exchange wagers were placed by two or more exchange wagering account holders, the amounts due shall be paid accordingly to the exchange wagering account of the exchange wagering account holder who won the wager, and any applicable transaction or other fees on the exchange wagering accounts shall be additionally deducted and retained by the exchange wagering licensee for use and distribution pursuant to the commission's rules and regulations.

Findings, declarations
Status: in_force

a. The Legislature finds and declares that the recreational sport of roller skating is practiced by a large number of citizens of this State; provides a wholesome and healthy family activity which should be encouraged, and attracts to this State a large number of nonresidents, significantly contributing to the economy of this State. Therefore, the allocation of the risks and costs of roller skating is an important matter of public policy. b. The Legislature finds and declares that roller skating rink owners face great difficulty in obtaining liability insurance coverage, and that when such insurance coverage is available, drastic increases in the cost of the insurance have taken place and many roller skating rink owners are no longer able to afford it. This lack of insurance coverage adversely affects not only the roller skating rink owners themselves, but also patrons who may suffer personal injury and property damage as a result of accidents which occur on the premises of the roller skating rink. In order to make it economically feasible for insurance companies to provide coverage to roller skating rinks, the incidence of liability should be more predictable. That predictability may be achieved by defining the limits of the liabilities of roller skating rink operators in order to encourage the development and implementation of risk reduction techniques.

Computation of guarantee payment.
Status: in_force

55. a. The guarantee payment payable by the intermunicipal account to each constituent municipality in any adjustment year shall be computed as follows: If there is a decrease in the aggregate true value of taxable real property of any constituent municipality, as determined pursuant to subsection b. of section 53 of P.L.2015, c.19 (C.5:10A-53), the commission shall, subject to the provision of subsection b. of this section, calculate the amount of decreased aggregate true value, occurring in the comparison year, by reason of the acquisition, through purchase, eminent domain, or gift, during the year preceding the comparison year, of taxable real property by a governmental body or agency to be used for a public purpose, whereby said taxable real property parcels or portions thereof became exempt from local real property taxes. Such decreased aggregate true value shall be calculated in the same manner as aggregate true value is determined pursuant to subsection b. of section 53 of P.L.2015, c.19 (C.5:10A-53) and shall be based on the assessed value in the year of acquisition, of the parcels or portions thereof affected. b. There shall be payable as a guarantee payment from the intermunicipal account to each constituent municipality, an amount to be calculated by multiplying the lesser of the following by the apportionment rate determined for the comparison year: (1) the amount of the decrease in aggregate true value determined pursuant to subsection b. of section 53 of P.L.2015, c.19 (C.5:10A-53); and (2) the amount of the decrease, if any, in aggregate true value calculated to be attributable to conversion of taxable property to exempt status, specified in paragraph (1) of this subsection. c. If, in any comparison year and with respect to any constituent municipality, no amount of decrease in aggregate true value is found to be attributable to the conversion from taxable to exempt status specified in subsection a. of this section, no guarantee payment shall be payable to any such municipality in the applicable adjustment year. d. The commission shall not be required to make the calculation prescribed in subsection a. of this section, unless the governing body of any constituent municipality claiming a decrease in aggregate true value attributable to the conversion of real property from a taxable to an exempt status specified in subsection a. of this section, no later than December 1 in the comparison year, files with the commission a statement to such effect, setting forth a description of the parcels, or portions thereof, involved, together with such other information as may be pertinent, in such form as the commission shall prescribe.
