The authority shall, in consultation with the officer and the director, promulgate rules and regulations in accordance with the "Administrative Procedure Act," P.L.1968, c.410 (C.52:14B-1 et seq.), as the officer deems necessary to administer the provisions of sections 2 through 8 of P.L.2020, c.156 (C.34:1B-270 through C.34:1B-276), including but not limited to rules establishing administrative fees to implement the provisions of sections 2 through 8 of P.L.2020, c.156 (C.34:1B-270 through C.34:1B-276), and setting of an annual application submission date, requiring annual reporting by each business entity that receives a tax credit pursuant to sections 2 through 8 of P.L.2020, c.156 (C.34:1B-270 through C.34:1B-276). As part of the authority's review of the annual reports required from each business entity that receives a tax credit, the authority shall confirm with the Department of Labor and Workforce Development, the Department of Environmental Protection, and the Department of the Treasury that: the business entity is in substantial good standing with the respective department, or has entered into an agreement with the respective department that includes a practical corrective action plan for the business entity, and the business entity shall certify that any contractors or subcontractors performing work at the qualified property or transformative project: (1) are registered as required by "The Public Works Contractor Registration Act," P.L.1999, c.238 (C.34:11-56.48 et seq.); (2) have not been debarred by the Department of Labor and Workforce Development from engaging in or bidding on Public Works Contracts in the State; and (3) possess a tax clearance certificate issued by the Division of Taxation in the Department of the Treasury. The rules and regulations adopted pursuant to this section shall also include a provision to require that business entities forfeit all tax credits awarded in any year in which the Department of Labor and Workforce Development, the Department of Environmental Protection, or the Department of the Treasury advises the authority that the business entity is not in substantial good standing nor has the business entity entered into an agreement with the respective department that includes a practical corrective action plan, and to allow the authority to extend, in individual cases, the deadline for any annual reporting or certification requirement established pursuant to this section. b. For every tax credit allowed pursuant to section 4 of P.L.2020, c.156 (C.34:1B-272), the authority, in consultation with the officer, shall certify to the director: the total cost of rehabilitation or total cost of facade rehabilitation project; that the property meets the definition of qualified property or transformative project, as applicable; and that the rehabilitation or facade rehabilitation project has been completed in substantial compliance with the requirements of the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation pursuant to section 67.7 of Title 36, Code of Federal Regulations. The business entity shall attach the certification to the tax return on which the business entity claims the credit. c. (1) The total amount of credits approved by the authority pursuant to sections 2 through 8 of P.L.2020, c.156 (C.34:1B-270 through C.34:1B-276) shall not exceed the limitations set forth in section 98 of P.L.2020, c.156 (C.34:1B-362). For the purpose of determining the aggregate value of tax credits approved in a fiscal year, a tax credit shall be deemed to have been approved at the time the authority approves an application for an award of a tax credit. If the authority approves less than the total amount of tax credits authorized pursuant to this subsection in a fiscal year, the remaining amount, plus any amounts remaining from previous fiscal years, shall be added to the limit of subsequent fiscal years until that amount of tax credits are claimed or allowed. Any unapproved, uncertified, or recaptured portion of tax credits during any fiscal year may be carried over and reallocated in succeeding years. (2) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (1) of this subsection and section 98 of P.L.2020, c.156 (C.34:1B-362) to the contrary, the authority may approve tax credits, pursuant to sections 2 through 8 of P.L.2020, c.156 (C.34:1B-270 through C.34:1B-276), for the rehabilitation of a transformative project in an amount that causes the total amount of credits approved during the fiscal year to exceed the limitations set forth in section 98 of P.L.2020, c.156 (C.34:1B-362), provided that the amount of the excess shall be subtracted from the total amount of credits that may be approved by the authority in the subsequent fiscal year, and the amount of the excess shall not exceed 50 percent of the total tax credits otherwise authorized for the fiscal year. (3) The authority, in consultation with the officer, shall devise criteria for allocating tax credit amounts if the approved amounts combined exceed the total amount in each fiscal year, including rules that allocate over multiple fiscal years a single credit amount granted in excess of $2,000,000. The criteria shall include a project's historic importance, positive impact on the surrounding neighborhood, economic sustainability, geographic diversity, and consistency with Statewide growth and development policies and plans. (4) At the authority's discretion, up to 50 percent of the tax credits available for distribution in any given year may be allocated to facade rehabilitation projects. The amount of credit allowed to a business entity pursuant to this paragraph shall be 50 percent of the cost of facade rehabilitation for a project or $4 million, whichever is less. The tax credits allocated pursuant to this paragraph shall be awarded through a competitive application process whereby the authority shall evaluate all applications submitted by a date certain, as if all received applications were submitted on that date. Notwithstanding the provisions of section 4 of P.L.2020, c.156 (C.34:1B-272), a project financing gap analysis shall not be required for the submission or approval of these applications. When scoring applications, the authority shall consider factors including, but not limited to: the retention of existing historic fabric versus demolition; building location, with preference given to buildings that contribute to the historic significance of a historic district; and the amount of community support for the project. d. Notwithstanding any provision of the "Administrative Procedure Act," P.L.1968, c.410 (C.52:14B-1 et seq.), to the contrary, the chief executive officer of the authority may adopt, immediately upon filing with the Office of Administrative Law, rules and regulations necessary to implement the provisions of P.L.2024, c.61.

The minimum capital investment required by this subsection shall be reduced by one-third for projects located in a Garden State Growth Zone or projects located within Atlantic, Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester, Ocean, or Salem counties. c. The minimum number of new or retained full-time jobs required to be eligible under this program shall be as follows: (1) for a business that is a technology startup company or a manufacturing company, a minimum of 10 new or 25 retained full-time jobs; (2) for a business engaged primarily in a targeted industry other than a technology startup company or a manufacturing company, a minimum of 25 new or 35 retained full-time jobs; and (3) for any other business, a minimum of 35 new or 50 retained full-time jobs. The minimum number of new or retained full-time jobs required by this subsection shall be reduced by one-quarter for projects located in a Garden State Growth Zone or projects located within Atlantic, Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester, Ocean, or Salem counties. d. To assist the authority in determining whether a proposed capital investment will yield a net positive benefit, the business's chief executive officer, or equivalent officer, shall submit a certification to the authority indicating: (1) that any existing full-time jobs are at risk of leaving the State or being eliminated; (2) that any projected creation or retention, as applicable, of new full-time jobs would not occur but for the provision of tax credits under the program; and (3) that the business's chief executive officer, or equivalent officer, has reviewed the information submitted to the authority and that the representations contained therein are accurate, provided however, that in satisfaction of the provisions of paragraphs (1) and (2) of this subsection, the certification with respect to a project in a Garden State Growth Zone that qualifies under the "Municipal Rehabilitation and Economic Recovery Act," P.L.2002, c.43 (C.52:27BBB-1 et al.), or a project located in a Garden State Growth Zone 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, shall indicate that the provision of tax credits under the program is a material factor in the business decision to make a capital investment and locate in a Garden State Growth Zone that qualifies under the "Municipal Rehabilitation and Economic Recovery Act," P.L.2002, c.43 (C.52:27BBB-1 et al.), or a Garden State Growth Zone 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. In the event that this certification by the business's chief executive officer, or equivalent officer, is found to be willfully false, the authority may revoke any award of tax credits in their entirety, which revocation shall be in addition to any other criminal or civil penalties that the business and the officer may be subject to. When considering an application involving intra-State job transfers, the authority shall require the business to submit the following information as part of its application: a full economic analysis of all locations under consideration by the business; all lease agreements, ownership documents, or substantially similar documentation for the business's current in-State locations; and all lease agreements, ownership documents, or substantially similar documentation for the potential out-of-State location alternatives, to the extent they exist. Based on this information, and any other information deemed relevant by the authority, the authority shall independently verify and confirm, by way of making a factual finding by separate vote of the authority's board, the business's assertion that the jobs are actually at risk of leaving the State, and as to the date or dates at which the authority expects that those jobs would actually leave the State, or, with respect to projects located in a Garden State Growth Zone that qualifies under the "Municipal Rehabilitation and Economic Recovery Act," P.L.2002, c.43 (C.52:27BBB-1 et al.), or projects located in a Garden State Growth Zone 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, the business's assertion that the provision of tax credits under the program is a material factor in the business's decision to make a capital investment and locate in a Garden State Growth Zone that qualifies under the "Municipal Rehabilitation and Economic Recovery Act," P.L.2002, c.43 (C.52:27BBB-1 et al.), or in a Garden State Growth Zone 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, before a business may be awarded any tax credits under this section. e. A project that consists solely of point-of-final-purchase retail facilities shall not be eligible for a grant of tax credits. If a project consists of both point-of-final-purchase retail facilities and non-retail facilities, only the portion of the project consisting of non-retail facilities shall be eligible for a grant of tax credits. For a qualified business facility that is a mixed-use project that includes retail facilities and that is located in a Garden State Growth Zone or the Atlantic City 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, retail facilities in an amount up to 7.5 percent of the mixed-use project may be included in the mixed-use project application for a grant of tax credits along with the non-retail facilities, and that application may include in the aggregate the pro-rata number of full-time employees employed by any number of tenants or other occupants of the included retail facilities. If a warehouse facility is part of a point-of-final-purchase retail facility and supplies only that facility, the warehouse facility shall not be eligible for a grant of tax credits. For the purposes of this section, a retail facility of at least 150,000 square feet, of which at least 50 percent is occupied by a full-service supermarket or grocery store, located in a Garden State Growth Zone which qualified under the "Municipal Rehabilitation and Economic Recovery Act," P.L.2002, c.43 (C.52:27BBB-1 et al.), or a tourism destination project in the Atlantic City Tourism District as established pursuant to section 5 of P.L.2011, c.18 (C.5:12-219), or catalog distribution centers shall not be considered point-of-final-purchase retail facilities. f. The authority may determine as eligible for tax credits under the program any business that is required to respond to a request for proposals and to fulfill a contract with the federal government although the business's chief executive officer or equivalent officer has not demonstrated to the authority that the award of tax credits will be a material factor in the business's decision to retain the minimum number of retained full-time jobs, as otherwise required by this section. The authority may, in its discretion, consider the economic benefit of the retained jobs servicing the contract in conducting a net benefit analysis required by paragraph (4) of subsection a. of this section. For the purposes of this subsection, "retained full-time jobs" includes jobs that are at risk of being eliminated. Applications to the authority for eligibility under the program pursuant to the criteria set forth in this subsection shall be completed by December 31, 2013. Submission of a proposal to the federal government prior to authority approval shall not disqualify a business from the program. g. Nothing shall preclude a business from applying for tax credits under the program for more than one project pursuant to one or more applications. h. A business shall not be required to purchase pinelands development credits under the "Pinelands Protection Act," P.L.1979, c.111 (C.13:18A-1 et seq.), the pinelands comprehensive management plan, or any other rule or regulation adopted pursuant to that act in connection with any approval or relief obtained related to a qualified business facility located in an aviation district on or after the effective date of P.L.2018, c.120, except if seeking to develop in permanently protected open space pursuant to the Pinelands Protection Act.

(3) That the Majority Support Petition is not barred by an existing collective bargaining agreement. e. The Majority Support Petition described in subsection d. of this section shall be supported by a proof of majority support, through authorization cards, petitions, or other appropriate proof of majority support of the currently employed employees, as determined from the employer’s payroll immediately preceding the filing of the Majority Support Petition. The showing of support shall be submitted together with the Majority Support Petition. f. A labor organization submitting a Majority Support Petition shall personally serve the petition on the employer on the same day that the petition is filed with the Division of Private Employment Dispute Settlement. Within 48 hours after the petition is served, the cannabis employer shall file with the division, and personally serve upon the labor organization that filed the petition, its response to the petition. As part of the response, the employer shall provide a complete and accurate list of the full names, current street addresses, telephone numbers, job classifications, and crew or department of all currently employed employees in the bargaining unit employed as of the payroll period immediately preceding the filing of the petition. The employer shall organize the employees’ names and addresses and other information by crew or department and shall provide the list to the division and petitioning labor organization in hardcopy and electronic format. The employee’s first name, middle name or initial, last name, address, city, state, ZIP Code, telephone number, classification, and crew or department shall be organized into separate columns. Immediately upon receiving the employer response and employee list, the division shall provide the response and employee list by hardcopy and electronic copy to the labor organization that filed the Majority Support Petition. g. (1) Upon receipt of a Majority Support Petition, the Division of Private Employment Dispute Settlement shall immediately commence an investigation regarding the validity of the petition and the proof of support submitted. Within five days of receipt of the petition, the division shall make an administrative determination as to whether the requirements set forth in subsection d. of this section are met by the petition and whether the labor organization submitting the petition has provided proof of majority support. In making this determination, the division shall compare the names on the proof of support submitted by the labor organization to the names on the list of currently employed employees provided by the employer. The division shall ignore discrepancies between the employee’s name listed on the proof of support and the employee’s name on the employer’s list if the preponderance of the evidence, such as the employee’s address, the name of the employee’s foreman or forewoman, or evidence submitted by the labor organization or employee shows that the employee who signed the proof of support is the same person as the employee on the employer’s list. (2) The division shall return proof of majority support that it finds invalid to the labor organization that filed the Majority Support Petition, with an explanation as to why each proof of support was found to be invalid. (3) If the division determines that the labor organization has submitted proof of majority support and met the requirements set forth in this section, it shall immediately certify the labor organization as the exclusive bargaining representative of the employees in the bargaining unit. An employer’s duty to bargain with the labor organization commences immediately after the labor organization is certified. (4) If the division determines that the labor organization has not submitted the requisite proof of majority support, the division shall notify the labor organization of the deficiency and grant the labor organization 30 days from the date it is notified to submit additional support. h. (1) Within five days after the division certifies a labor organization through a majority support election, the cannabis employer or the labor organization may file with the division a petition objecting to the certification on one or more of the following grounds: (a) Allegations in the Majority Support Petition were false. (b) The division improperly determined the geographical scope of the bargaining unit. (c) The majority support election was conducted improperly. (d) Improper conduct affected the results of the majority support election. (2) Upon receipt of a petition objecting to certification, the Division of Private Employment Dispute Settlement may administratively rule on the petitioner’s objections or may choose to conduct a hearing to rule on the petitioner’s objections. If the division decides to conduct a hearing on the objections, it shall mail a notice of the time and place of the hearing to the petitioner and the labor organization whose certification is being challenged. The division shall conduct the hearing within 14 days of the filing of an objection, unless an extension is agreed to by the labor organization. If the division finds at the hearing that any of the allegations in the petition of the grounds set forth in paragraph (1) of this subsection are true, the division shall revoke the certification issued under subsection g. of this section. (3) The filing of a petition objecting to a majority support election certification shall not diminish the duty to bargain or delay the running of the 90-day period. i. The Division of Private Employment Dispute Settlement shall not permit the filing of any other election petition once a Majority Support Petition is filed until the division determines whether the labor organization filing the Majority Support Petition should be certified. j. If a cannabis employer commits an unfair labor practice, as set forth in section 7 of P.L.2025, c.244 (C.34:13A-66), including vote suppression during a labor organization’s Majority Support Petition campaign, and the employer’s unfair labor practice or misconduct would render slight the chances of a new majority support campaign reflecting the free and fair choice of the cannabis employees covered under section 7 of P.L.2025, c.244 (C.34:13A-66), the labor organization shall be certified by the Division of Private Employment Dispute Settlement as the exclusive bargaining representative for the bargaining unit. For purposes of a finding of an unfair labor practice or misconduct under this subsection, a misrepresentation of fact or law by a cannabis employer or a cannabis employer’s representative or agent is an unfair labor practice or misconduct whether or not a labor organization has had an opportunity to respond to or correct the misrepresentation. k. If a cannabis employer disciplines, suspends, demotes, lays off, terminates, or otherwise takes adverse action against a cannabis employee during a labor organization’s Majority Support Petition campaign, there shall be a presumption that the adverse action was retaliatory. The employer may rebut the presumption if they can provide clear and convincing evidence that the adverse action would have been taken in the absence of the Majority Support Petition campaign. l. If the Division of Private Employment Dispute Settlement invalidates signatures towards the Majority Support Petition so that the Majority Support Petition alleging that a majority of the employees in the bargaining unit wish to be represented by that organization is no longer a majority, under 50 percent plus one of the proposed bargaining unit, the labor organization or the cannabis employees alleging the majority shall either correct the deficiency or proceed with an election. m. If the number of cannabis employees does not rise to a majority of the proposed bargaining unit, the labor organization shall provide proof of 30 percent or more of the cannabis employees in the proposed bargaining unit to secure an election for representation. n. In the case of an election for representation by the labor organization, cannabis employees to be covered by the bargaining unit shall have the right to vote by electronic voting system, Internet voting system, telephone voting system, or remotely as provided in section 3 of P.L.1941, c.100 (C.34:13A-3). o. In any election in which the Division of Private Employment Dispute Settlement determines, following a post-election hearing, that a cannabis employer has committed a violation of P.L.2025, c.244 (C.34:13A-5.1a et al.) or otherwise interfered with a fair election, and the employer has not demonstrated that the violation or other interference is unlikely to have affected the outcome of the election, the division shall, without ordering a new election, set aside the election and certify the labor organization as the representative of the cannabis employees in such unit and issue an order requiring the employer to bargain with the labor organization. p. If a cannabis employer disagrees with the coverage of cannabis employees in the bargaining unit as cannabis employees, the employer shall petition the Division of Private Employment Dispute Settlement. The division shall seek a response from the labor organization or cannabis employees seeking certification. The division shall issue a decision citing to previous National Labor Relations Board rulings on private employees as applied to the prospective bargaining unit. An appeal of the decision shall be preserved pending the final decision on certification by the division. L.2025, c.244, s.8.

Wages; computation.
Status: in_force

34:15-37. "Wages," when used in this chapter, shall be construed to mean the money rate at which the service rendered is recompensed under the contract of hiring in force at the time of the accident. Board and lodging, when furnished by the employer as part of the wages, shall be included at market value, unless the money value of such advantages shall have been otherwise fixed by the parties at the time of hiring. If, however, the claimant continues to receive board or lodging during a period of total temporary disability, the value of the board or lodging shall not be included in the calculation of the workers’ compensation rate for purposes of temporary total disability. Where, prior to the accident, the rate of wages is fixed by the output of the employee, the daily wages shall be calculated by dividing the number of days the worker was actually employed into the total amount the employee earned during the preceding 6 months, or so much thereof as shall refer to employment by the same employer. When the rate of wages is fixed by the hour, the daily wage shall be found by multiplying the hourly rate by the customary number of working hours constituting an ordinary day in the character of the work involved. In any case the weekly wage shall be found by multiplying the daily wage by the customary number of working days constituting an ordinary week in the character of the work involved; provided, however, if the employee worked less than the customary number of working days constituting an ordinary week in the character of the work involved, the weekly wage for the purposes of compensation under provisions of R.S. 34:15-12a only shall be found by multiplying the hourly rate by the number of hours of work regularly performed by that employee in the character of the work involved. Gratuities, received regularly in the course of employment from other than the employer, shall be included in determining the weekly wage only in those cases where the employer or employee has kept a regular daily or weekly record of the amount of gratuities so received. In such cases the average weekly amount of gratuities over a period of 6 months, or for the entire time of employment, whichever period is less, shall be added to the fixed weekly wage to determine the employee's total weekly wage. If no such record has been kept, then the average amount of the weekly gratuities shall be fixed by the judge of compensation or the referee hearing the matter.

No contract shall be awarded by a public body to any listed waterfront employer or to any other waterfront employer in which the listed waterfront employer has an interest. For purposes of this section, "interest" means an interest, affiliation, relationship or connection of a waterfront employer listed pursuant to section 9 of this act in or with another waterfront employer employing, or seeking to employ, longshoremen at a waterfront facility, whether having the interest is as an owner, partner, officer, manager, employee, agent, consultant or representative. The listed waterfront employer shall be regarded as having an interest in another waterfront employer if the listed waterfront employer enters into a contract or agreement with the other waterfront employer for services performed or to be performed, for services that have been or will be assigned or subletted, or for the sale, rental or lease of vehicles, tools, equipment or supplies during the period from the initiation of the proceedings under section 9 of this act against the waterfront employer until three years have elapsed from the date that the waterfront employer was listed by the commissioner under section 9 of this act. The term "interest" shall not include shares held in a publicly traded corporation if the shares were not received as compensation after the initiation of proceedings under section 9 of this act. A rebuttable presumption that a waterfront employer listed by the commissioner under section 9 of this act has an interest in another waterfront employer may arise if the two share any of the following capacities or characteristics: occupy the same premises, have the same telephone number or fax number, have the same email address or internet website, employ substantially the same administrative employees, utilize the same tools and equipment, or employ or engage the services of any listed person or persons involved in the direction or control of the other. If the rebuttable presumption that a listed waterfront employer has an interest in another waterfront employer results in a determination to include of the other waterfront employer in the debarment list, the other waterfront employer may request a hearing to challenge the determination, to be conducted in accordance with the "Administrative Procedure Act," P.L.1968, c.410 (C.52:14B-1 et seq.).

Forfeit of credit.
Status: in_force

76. a. (1) If, in any tax period, an eligible business reduces the total number of full-time employees in its Statewide workforce by more than 20 percent from the number of full-time employees in its Statewide workforce in the last tax period prior to the credit amount approval under the program, then the eligible business shall forfeit its credit amount for that tax period and each subsequent tax period, until the first tax period for which documentation demonstrating the restoration of the eligible business's Statewide workforce to the threshold levels required by this subsection has been reviewed and approved by the authority, for which tax period and each subsequent tax period the full amount of the credit shall be allowed. (2) If the annual report filed by an eligible business pursuant to section 77 of P.L.2020, c.156 (C.34:1B-345) provides that the number of new full-time employees employed by the eligible business subject to the project agreement, or the salaries thereof, was reduced by more than 10 percent of the number of new full-time employees, or salaries thereof, in the annual report of the prior year, or the project agreement if the annual report is the first such report filed, then the authority may reevaluate the net positive economic benefit of the project and reduce the size of the award accordingly. This reduction shall not affect any recapture under subsection f. of this section. b. If, in any tax period, the number of full-time employees employed by the eligible business subject to the project agreement, or the salaries thereof, drops below 80 percent of the number of new and retained full-time jobs, and the salaries thereof, specified in the project agreement or the project phase agreement, then the eligible business shall forfeit its tax credit amount for that tax period and each subsequent tax period, until the first tax period for which documentation demonstrating the restoration of the number of full-time employees employed by the eligible business subject to the project agreement to 80 percent of the number of jobs specified in the project agreement or project phase agreement or the restoration of 80 percent of the salaries specified in the project agreement is reviewed and approved by the authority. c. Except for an eligible business that is a small business engaged primarily in a targeted industry: (1) If the qualified business facility is sold in whole or in part during the eligibility period, the new owner shall not acquire the capital investment of the seller, provided, however, that any tax credits of tenants shall remain unaffected. The seller shall forfeit all tax credits for the tax period in which the sale occurs and all subsequent tax periods, provided, however, that an eligible business may change the location of the qualified business facility if the new facility: (a) meets all applicable location qualifying criteria and has gross leasable area not less than the gross leasable area of the qualified business facility initially approved by the authority and the alternate qualified business facility meets the minimum capital investment and sustainability requirements of the program; or (b) does not meet all applicable location qualifying criteria or has less gross leasable area than the gross leasable area of the qualified business facility initially approved by the authority, if the alternate qualified business facility meets the minimum capital investment and sustainability requirements of the program, provided that the authority shall require a cost comparison of the originally approved location and the alternate qualified business facility illustrating the respective economics of the project which reflect occupancy at the alternate proposed qualified business facility location for the remaining duration of the commitment period and shall re-calculate the net economic benefit of the project to reflect the economics of occupancy at the alternate proposed location for the remaining duration of the net benefit test period in lieu of the economics of continuing occupancy at the qualified business facility proposed to be vacated, and provided further that the award of tax credits shall be reduced consistent with the variations in qualifying criteria for the alternate qualified business facility location as well as in a manner consistent with the revised net economic benefit calculation. In the event that the modified project economics materially deviate from the economics of the initial approval in a manner that undermines the recommendation of approval made by the staff of the authority at the time of the initial approval, then the business requesting to re-locate a qualified business facility shall be required to obtain the approval of the members of the authority. (2) If a tenant subleases its tenancy in whole or in part during the eligibility period, the new tenant shall not acquire the tax credits of the sublessor, and the sublessor shall forfeit all tax credits for any tax period of its sublease in which the sublessor, in continued occupation of a portion of the qualified business facility, fails to maintain the number of jobs required for the sublessor to earn tax credits for the tax period or fails to independently satisfy the minimum capital investment or sustainability requirements for the program as set forth in section 71 of P.L.2020, c.156 (C.34:1B-339). Provided, however, if the capital investment of the sublessor in the occupied portion of the qualified business facility is below the project minimum capital investment as set forth in section 71 of P.L.2020, c.156 (C.34:1B-339), the sublessor may include capital investment made by or on behalf of the new tenant in the subleased portion of the qualified business facility, so long as that capital investment is not the subject of an independent application under an incentive program with the authority. d. A small business may move its qualified business facility provided that the business remains in New Jersey during the commitment period. e. The authority may require a small business to submit a growth plan, which specifies the number of new full-time employees in the State that the eligible business will hire each year of the eligibility period; provided that by the end of the eligibility period, the eligible business shall have a minimum of 25 percent growth of its workforce with new full-time jobs. If the eligible business meets the number of new full-time employees specified in the growth plan each year of the eligibility period, then the eligible business shall be entitled to an increased credit amount for that tax period, and each subsequent tax period, for each additional full-time employee added above the number of full-time employees certified, until the full-time employees number the maximum number projected for the final year of the eligibility period. Failure to meet the projections in any year shall not constitute a default but shall cause the authority to reduce the award in accordance with a schedule attached to the project agreement. f. (1) The authority may recapture all or part of a tax credit awarded if an eligible business does not remain in compliance with the requirements of a project agreement for the duration of the commitment period. A recapture pursuant to this subsection may include interest on the recapture amount, at a rate equal to the statutory rate for corporate business or insurance premiums tax deficiencies, plus any statutory penalties, and all costs incurred by the authority and the Division of Taxation in the Department of the Treasury in connection with the pursuit of the recapture, including, but not limited to, counsel fees, court costs, and other costs of collection. Failure of the eligible business to meet any program criteria shall constitute a default and shall result in the recapture of all or part of the tax credit awarded. (2) If all or part of a tax credit sold or assigned pursuant to section 78 of P.L.2020, c.156 (C.34:1B-346) is subject to recapture, then the authority shall pursue recapture from the eligible business and not from the purchaser or assignee of the tax credit transfer certificate. The purchaser or assignee of a tax credit transfer certificate shall be subject to any limitations and conditions that apply to the use of the tax credits by the eligible business. (3) Any funds, net of costs incurred by the authority, recaptured pursuant to this subsection, including penalties and interest, shall be deposited into the General Fund of the State. g. A business may include an affiliate for any period, provided that the business provides a valid tax clearance certificate for the affiliate and a verification of the nature of the affiliate relationship during the relevant period, and provided further that the affiliate provides acceptable responses to the authority's legal disclosures inquiries, as determined by the authority. A formal modification of the authority's approval of the project agreement shall not be necessary to add or remove an affiliate after approval or execution of the project agreement. h. A business may change its name filed with the authority by providing a copy of the filed amendment to the certificate of incorporation or formation, as the case may be, of the business and a valid tax clearance certificate with the business's new name. A formal modification of the authority's approval shall not be necessary to change a business's name after approval or execution of the project agreement.
