Findings, declarations
Status: in_force

2. The Legislature finds and declares: Crime and the fear of crime continue to grip far too many New Jersey residents. The volume of crimes committed in this State has risen by almost 10 percent over the past 10 years, according to the State Police, with violent crime comprising an ever-greater proportion of the total. A recent Statewide survey revealed that one of every seven New Jersey residents had been a crime victim within the past six months. While crime has mushroomed, its face and scope have changed dramatically. Rural and suburban communities, formerly considered safe havens, are now plagued by crimes once thought confined to urban areas. In fact, offenses such as carjackings are as likely to occur in suburban shopping malls as in big cities. As criminals have widened their base of operations, local efforts to cope with crime have been stretched dangerously thin by economic adversity. Cash-strapped communities across the State have laid off or restrained the hiring of police officers--the first line of defense against criminals. These communities also have been required to curtail expenditures for the equipment--cars, radios and body armor--necessary for effective police operations. It is clearly time for action to deal with this epidemic of crime in a forceful, yet enlightened, manner. The Safe and Secure Communities Program, established by this act, will enable the police and the community to create a partnership designed to identify and develop strategies to impact crime and improve the quality of life by (1) combining State, federal and local resources to rapidly place 2,000 additional police officers in communities throughout the State, (2) providing hard-pressed municipalities with funding to purchase the equipment vital to effective police operations, (3) imposing an additional penalty on lawbreakers to establish a continuing source of funding to pay for these officers and equipment, (4) deploying the additional officers and equipment in a focused, community-oriented manner that will assure their maximum impact in combatting crime, and (5) initiating such other programs as will meet the particular needs of municipalities.

Findings, declarations relative to structured financing transactions.
Status: in_force

2. The Legislature finds and declares that: a. In this era of limited sources of State and local revenues coupled with the increasing demands placed on State and local government to fulfill its governmental functions, the need exists to maximize the value of their assets; b. One possible way of maximizing such value is to utilize new and innovative financing structures which take advantage of the existing assets; c. A new and innovative financing structure that has been developed is the structured financing transaction whereby a governmental entity can obtain additional revenues by conveying its interest in its assets to other parties and by so conveying such interests, transfer certain benefits which the State or local government unit enjoys in connection with its assets, which would have value to the other party but of which the State or local government unit cannot take advantage; d. Entry into such structured financing transactions is not intended to interfere with the governmental unit's ownership, occupation or use of its assets, although under the terms of a structured financing transaction, upon the occurrence of certain events, the other party may have the right to exercise certain rights and remedies and to acquire certain interests which may interfere with the governmental unit's ownership, occupation or use of its assets; e. By the State or local government unit entering into such structured financing transactions, the State or local government unit can obtain additional revenues required to carry out its governmental functions without affecting the use by the State or local government unit of its assets for its governmental functions; f. It is in the best interests of the State or local government unit to be able to enter into structured financing transactions. L.1999,c.157,s.2.

The rates charged shall be determined based upon accepted group rating principles with due regard to the experience, both past and contemplated, under the contract. The commission shall have the right to particularize subgroups for experience purposes and rates. No increase in rates shall be retroactive. c. The commission shall be authorized to accept an assignment of contract rights from or enter into an agreement, contract, memorandum of understanding or other terms with the State Health Benefits Commission to ensure that coverage for eligible employees, retirees and dependents under the School Employees' Health Benefits Program whose benefits had been provided through the State Health Benefits Program is continued without interruption.

The initial term of any contract purchased by the commission under the authority of the School Employees' Health Benefits Program Act shall be for such period to which the commission and the carrier may agree, but permission may be made for automatic renewal in the absence of notice of termination by the commission. Subsequent terms for which any contract may be renewed as herein provided shall each be limited to a period not to exceed one year. f.

The State and the third-party medical claims reviewer shall not disclose, sell, or transfer the documents, materials or other information without the prior written consent of the carrier. This subsection shall not be construed as pertaining to medical claims data. g. A contract entered into with a carrier pursuant to this section shall include therein the State's existing right to withhold payment for administrative services or to pursue any other remedy deemed appropriate by the State Treasurer if the carrier is found by the State upon information provided by the third-party medical claims reviewer to have committed errors resulting in a loss to the State in a quantity or value, or both, beyond a certain threshold, as shall be provided in the contract or by rules promulgated by the State Treasurer. The contract shall permit the State to recover any loss resulting from errors identified by the third-party medical claims reviewer. h. Information provided to or obtained by the third-party medical claims reviewer shall be delivered, received, maintained, and reviewed in a manner and shall contain only material consistent with the "Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996," Pub.L.104-191.

Findings, declarations.
Status: in_force

1. The Legislature finds and declare that: a. New Jersey residents could meaningfully benefit from expanded access to below-market-rate capital for socially beneficial projects, including support for public infrastructure, affordable housing and neighborhood revitalization, small business lending, early childhood education facilities, and higher education financing. b. Access to capital is vitally important for the health, security, and well-being of all individuals and businesses in this State and the lack of accessible capital exacerbates the economic hardships being faced by working families and businesses. c. Public banking is a model that could expand capital access by leveraging public and private dollars to finance and support sustainable and forward-thinking projects that would benefit the public interest. d. A public banking model could address the unique needs and goals of community banking institutions, small businesses, and emerging and early-stage developers. e. Recognizing the value that a public bank could provide, Governor Murphy issued Executive Order No. 91 of 2019 establishing a Public Bank Implementation Board responsible for studying and making recommendations to the Governor regarding the development of a public bank for New Jersey. f. The Social Impact Investment Fund established by P.L.2023, c.67 (C.52:18A-265 et seq.), inspired by the work of the Public Bank Implementation Board, will leverage public capital with investments from private sector institutions and individuals to create a lending pool to provide below-market-rate loans and guarantees to achieve positive social impacts. g. It is the intent of the Legislature that the deployment of State funds through the Social Impact Investment Fund will demonstrate the potential of a public banking model to the benefit the residents of New Jersey.

Findings, declarations relative to stabilization of finances of a municipality in which casino gaming is authorized.
Status: in_force

2. The Legislature finds and declares that: a. In 1976, the voters of the State approved an amendment to the New Jersey Constitution (Article IV, Section VII, paragraph 2, subparagraph D), which authorized casino gaming in Atlantic City. b. For over 30 years, casinos grew and profited in the City of Atlantic City, until competition from other states in our region, particularly Pennsylvania, siphoned off much of the out-of-State and foreign gamblers who had frequented Atlantic City casinos for many years. c. The regional competition in casino gaming has had a deleterious effect on Atlantic City in several ways, including: an increase in unemployment due to the recent closing of four casino properties, representing fully one-third of the number of casinos operating in Atlantic City in 2013; a strain on Atlantic City's municipal budget due to property tax refunds required by successful assessment appeals of casino gaming properties; and an increased property tax burden on Atlantic City and Atlantic County residents based on the decreasing value of casino gaming properties. d. In the "New Jersey Economic Opportunity Act of 2013," P.L.2013, c.161 (C.52:27D-489p et al.), the four New Jersey cities with the lowest median family income based on the 2009 American Community Survey from the United States Census, (Table 708. Household, Family, and Per Capita Income and Individuals, and Families Below Poverty Level by City: 2009) were designated as Garden State Growth Zones and were declared blighted areas and areas in need of rehabilitation; provided, however, that the declaration alone could not be used to allow any property to be taken or acquired. e. The Legislature has previously recognized the extraordinary situation in Atlantic City, by designating a municipality which contains a tourism district as established pursuant to section 5 of P.L.2011, c.18 (C.5:12-219) and regulated by the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority as a Garden State Growth Zone for purposes of incentive programs administered by the New Jersey Economic Development Authority in P.L.2014, c.63 (C.34:1B-251 et al.). f. Consistent with the Legislature's acts with respect to the other Garden State Growth Zones, a municipality which contains a tourism district as established pursuant to section 5 of P.L.2011, c.18 (C.5:12-219) and is regulated by the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority is hereby declared a blighted area and area in need of redevelopment; provided, however, that this declaration alone shall not be used to allow any property to be taken or acquired. g. The accurate assessment of casino gaming properties is especially difficult because they are unique properties and their year-to-year value is greatly influenced by the performance of casino gaming properties in other nearby states and by extreme weather events like Super Storm Sandy. h. It is appropriate for the Legislature to address the extraordinary situation in Atlantic City by devising a program that avoids costly assessment appeals for both the casino operators and Atlantic City, and that provides a certain mandatory minimum property-tax related payment by casino properties that Atlantic City can rely upon each year. i. Article VIII, Section I, paragraph 2 of the New Jersey Constitution empowers the Legislature to grant property tax exemptions by general law. j. It is constitutional to classify Atlantic City, the only municipality wherein casino gaming is authorized, as a special class unto itself for economic purposes related to casino gaming. Courts have routinely concluded that the Legislature has the ability to address the concerns of Atlantic City and the casino industry separately from other local entities and industries due to the unique role casino gambling plays in Atlantic City and the State. The fact that, even though almost 40 years have passed since the approval of casino gambling in New Jersey, Atlantic City remains the only municipality wherein casino gaming is authorized, proves that its unique classification continues to allow the Legislature to treat it as a special case under State law, and permits changes to the casino "experiment" in Atlantic City. k. Casino gaming properties represent a unique classification of property that can be exempted from normal property taxation by general law, in favor of a certain guaranteed mandatory minimum payment in lieu of property taxes when it is primarily in the public interest to do so. l. In the interest of the revitalization of Atlantic City and the continuation of the casino industry and its associated economic benefits to the State, it is reasonable that the Legislature, in seeking to revitalize the city, should choose to experiment with a payment in lieu of property tax mechanism to address the issues of persistent property tax appeals and the damage that those appeals, together with declining casino property values, have wrought on the tax bases of both Atlantic City and Atlantic County. m. It is a primary public purpose to grant casino gaming properties an exemption from normal property taxation for a limited period of time, in exchange for a guaranteed mandatory minimum payment in lieu of property taxes, because Atlantic City will be able to depend on a certain level of revenue from casino gaming properties each year, making the local property tax rate and need for State aid less volatile; casino revenue supports many social programs, such as property tax relief for seniors, medical assistance, housing for disabled residents, transportation assistance, and other social services programs for elderly and disabled New Jerseyans; casinos provide a unique recreational experience to the residents of New Jersey within the State; and because, with a long-term predictable payment in lieu of property tax liability, casino gaming properties will know how much of their income will be required to pay their obligation to Atlantic City, Atlantic County, and the Atlantic City School District. This ability to depend on a stable payment in lieu of property tax obligation will in turn help to stabilize the casino business models and the workforce required to run those business models, and the casino gaming properties will be better able to compete with out-of-State casino gaming properties in the region to preserve, and perhaps grow, the many benefits that casino gaming has brought to the State, and more particularly, to the Atlantic City region. n. It is also a primary public purpose to stabilize the casino industry for the benefit of the casino employee workforce, many of whom have worked in the casinos since the first casino opened over 30 years ago. It is anticipated that the financial stability granted to the casino gaming properties by a guaranteed mandatory minimum payment in lieu of property taxes for a 10-year period will greatly enhance the ability of the casino gaming properties to adapt their business models to the changes in the regional casino gaming market, which will in turn allow them to remain open for business and to pay their employees good wages and benefits, including health care and pension benefits, for many years to come. o. This plan to provide a guaranteed minimum in lieu of property tax payment for 10 years, and ending casino property tax appeal litigation would provide some economic stabilization to Atlantic City and allow it time to plan for its future, which it cannot do if it descends further into an economic free-fall. p. The public purpose of a property tax exemption and payment in lieu of property tax program for casino gaming properties seems evident without examining the specific local, regional, and Statewide economic benefits of the continued success of the casino industry and the general economic viability of Atlantic City. Arguably, the local, regional, and State economies could be bolstered by such a property tax exemption and, thus, be seen by a court as a primary public purpose furthered by the legislation. The exemption of casino property from property taxation is a proper exercise of the Legislature's power to grant property tax exemptions by general law, since Atlantic City casinos are a unique classification which does not exclude any similar properties in the State. Such an exemption primarily furthers several public purposes, while providing an incidental benefit to casino properties. q. The Legislature intends to request in the budget process that $10,000,000 is appropriated for economic development projects in Atlantic City and that $8,000,000 is appropriated for funding for the promotion, marketing, and advertising of the City of Atlantic City. Any amount so appropriated to Atlantic City shall not impact, reduce, or otherwise affect the amount appropriated for Transitional Aid to Localities. L.2016, c.5, s.2.

The 13 percent shall count towards the minimum 50 percent of the housing units required to be made available for occupancy by low-income households to address a municipality's prospective need obligation. Nothing in this section shall require that a specific percentage of the units in any specific project be reserved as very low-income housing; provided, however, that a municipality shall not receive bonus credits for the provision of housing units reserved for occupancy by very low-income households unless the 13 percent target has been exceeded within that municipality, and that the agency shall update the regulations adopted pursuant to section 21 of P.L.1985, c.222 (C.52:27D-321) to replace any requirements for very low-income housing inconsistent with the percentages and definitions established pursuant to P.L.2024, c.2 (C.52:27D-304.1 et al.) with the percentage and definition specified in this section.

Findings, declarations relative to the New Jersey Cultural Trust
Status: in_force

2. The Legislature finds and declares that: a. Arts, history, and humanities contribute immeasurably to the quality of life in New Jersey, to the tourism industry and the economy, to the health and vitality of our cities, towns, and neighborhoods, to sound education, to the teaching of tolerance and understanding, and to the celebration of our rich cultural diversity and identity. b. Hundreds of nonprofit cultural organizations in this State play an invaluable role in ensuring that the benefits of the arts, history, and humanities are extended to the people and communities of New Jersey. c. These nonprofit cultural organizations work diligently and responsibly to carry out their vital missions. However, as a whole, they are undercapitalized, which makes them vulnerable to economic downturns. Therefore, in order to ensure a stable and healthy cultural climate in this State that is sustainable for years to come and under fluctuating economic conditions, the Legislature hereby creates the New Jersey Cultural Trust and directs the establishment of a permanent, interest-generating fund to be an additional source of revenue to nonprofit arts, history, and humanities organizations, specifically for the building of endowments, the improvement of institutional and financial stability, and the capital improvement of cultural facilities.
