Common Pension Fund established; subaccounts.
Status: in_force

6. a. In order to receive the lottery contribution on behalf of the retirement systems, a Common Pension Fund L is hereby established within the Division of Investment in the Department of the Treasury. Common Pension Fund L shall constitute part of each retirement system and the participating trust through which each retirement system is funded. Only the retirement systems and the trusts through which they are funded shall have an interest in Common Pension Fund L. Common Pension Fund L shall satisfy the requirements of section 401(a)(24) of the federal Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (26 U.S.C. s.401(a)(24)), as amended, in accordance with Revenue Ruling 81-100, as amended by Revenue Ruling 2004-67 and Revenue Ruling 2011-1, and the requirements for exemption under section 501(a) of the federal Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (26 U.S.C. s.501(a)), as amended. Consistent with section 401(a)(24) of the federal Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (26 U.S.C. s.401(a)(24)), as amended, regulations of the United States Department of the Treasury, and other guidance of the federal Internal Revenue Service, each retirement system shall participate in Common Pension Fund L. No part of the corpus or income of Common Pension Fund L that equitably belongs to a retirement system or a trust of the retirement system may be used for or diverted to any purpose other than for the exclusive benefit of the members or beneficiaries entitled to benefits under such retirement system or trust of the retirement system. No retirement system or trust of a retirement system may assign any part of its equity or interest in Common Pension Fund L. b. Upon receipt of the lottery contribution, the Director of the Division of Investment shall: (1) invest and manage all assets in the investment account; (2) make distributions of proceeds and investment earnings thereon from the investment account into investment vehicles managed by the Division of Investment for the sole benefit of the retirement systems; and (3) make distributions of proceeds and investment earnings thereon from the investment account to the retirement systems from Common Pension Fund L to be used by each retirement system for any legitimate purpose of such retirement system, provided that any distribution under this part (3) shall be made on a simultaneous and pro rata basis to the retirement systems, which pro rata basis shall be based on each retirement system's relative equitable interest in the lottery contribution. c. Upon the establishment of Common Pension Fund L, there shall be established two subaccounts therein as the operations account and investment account for the following purposes. (1) The gross proceeds of the Lottery Enterprise shall be deposited into an operations account. The Division of the State Lottery solely shall manage the operations account and shall make deposits therein, invest amounts therein, make requisition and payment for costs incurred in the operation and administration of the Lottery Enterprise, including reimbursements of funds used to pay such expenses, and payment for lottery sales agent commissions, certain prizes paid by lottery sales agents, costs resulting from any contract or contracts entered into for promotional, advertising, or operational services, or for the purchase or lease of lottery equipment and materials for the Lottery Enterprise therefrom, hold reserves for payment of prizes and other purposes related to the operation of the Lottery Enterprise, and otherwise manage the operations account. All proceeds of the Lottery Enterprise deposited in the operations account shall be qualified plan assets subject to the requirements of sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the federal Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (26 U.S.C. ss.401(a) and 501(a)), as amended, but shall not be assets managed by the Division of Investment for the benefit of the retirement systems under N.J.S.18A:66-61, section 14 of P.L.1944, c.255 (C.43:16A-14), or section 32 of P.L.1954, c.84 (C.43:15A-32) until any such assets have been transferred from the operations account to the investment account. (2) Proceeds in amounts determined by the Division of the State Lottery shall be transferred from the operations account to the investment account on a periodic basis and such proceeds shall constitute the net proceeds of the Lottery Enterprise. Such proceeds transferred together with all investments thereof and investment earnings thereon shall be available solely to and for the benefit of the retirement systems in the allocable percentages specified in section 5 of this act, P.L.2017, c.98 (C.5:9-22.9). The investment account shall be managed and invested by the Director of the Division of Investment pursuant to the authority, responsibilities, and duties set forth in P.L.1950, c.271 (C.52:18A-79 et seq.), subject to the oversight of the State Investment Council, pursuant to the authority of P.L.1950, c.270 (C.52:18A-79 et seq.). The Director of the Division of Investment shall have full discretion to distribute proceeds and all investments thereof and investment earnings thereon from the investment account into investment vehicles managed by the Division of Investment on behalf of the retirement systems. The investment account may be further subdivided into subaccounts in the discretion of the Director of the Division of Investment for purposes of investing in different types of investments. (3) Notwithstanding any provision of this act or any other provision of law to the contrary, the Director of the Division of Investment and the State Investment Council shall not have any responsibility for the operations account of Common Pension Fund L and shall not be liable for any claims, demands, suits, actions, damages, judgments, costs, charges, or expenses, including court costs or attorneys' fees in any way related to such account. Notwithstanding the establishment of Common Pension Fund L in the Division of Investment, the Director of the Division of Investment, the Division of Investment, and the State Investment Council shall not have any authority to manage the Lottery Enterprise or the operations account. d. The portion of the lottery contribution allocated to each retirement system shall increase the funded ratio with respect to eligible members of such retirement system, provided, however, all amounts in the investment account, to the extent of the interest of each retirement system therein, may be distributed by the Director of the Division of Investment to the retirement systems from Common Pension Fund L and used by each retirement system for any legitimate purpose of such retirement system, provided that any such distribution shall be made on a simultaneous and pro rata basis to the retirement systems, which pro rata basis shall be based on each retirement system's relative equitable interest in the lottery contribution. For the purpose of this subsection, the funded ratio shall be the ratio of the actuarial value of assets plus the value of the special asset, determined in accordance with section 38 of P.L.2010, c.1 (C.43:3C-14), to the actuarially determined accrued liabilities expressed as a percentage.

a. The Legislature finds and declares that the achievement of the beneficial purposes of this 1984 amendatory and supplementary act requires the granting to the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority of the right of condemnation and the exercise by it of the right of eminent domain in the city of Atlantic City because special problems may arise or exist in that city concerning the necessity for the acquisition of the property for projects for the public good under this 1984 amendatory and supplementary act, including inflated land values resulting from speculation and intentional obstruction of a landowner or speculator to the acquisition of needed property in order to exact an unreasonable and prohibitive purchase price. b. In the event the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority finds it is necessary to complete a project in the city of Atlantic City, the authority may acquire any real property in the city, whether a fee simple absolute or lesser interest and whether for immediate use, that the authority may find and determine is required for public use, and upon such a determination, the property shall be deemed to be required for a public use until otherwise determined by the authority; and with the exceptions hereinafter specifically noted, the determination shall not be affected by the fact that such property has theretofore been taken for, or is then devoted to, a public use, but the public use in the hands or under the control of the authority shall be deemed superior to the public use in the hands or under the control of any other person, association or corporation. c. If the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority is unable to agree with the owner or owners thereof upon terms for the acquisition of any such real property in the city for any reason whatsoever, then the authority may acquire, and is hereby authorized to acquire, after consultation with the appropriate agency of the city by way of notification 30 days prior to the filing of condemnation proceedings, such property, whether a fee simple absolute or lesser interest, by condemnation or the exercise of the right of eminent domain pursuant to the provisions of the "Eminent Domain Act of 1971," P.L.1971, c. 361 (C. 20:3-1 et seq.) and the "Relocation Assistance Act," P.L.1971, c. 362 (C. 20:4-1 et seq.). d. The power of the authority to acquire real property by condemnation or the exercise of the power of eminent domain in the city shall be a continuing power and no exercise thereof shall be deemed to exhaust it. e. The Casino Reinvestment Development Authority and its duly authorized agents and employees may enter upon any land in the State for the purpose of making such surveys, maps or other examinations thereof as it may deem necessary or convenient for its authorized purposes. f. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this 1984 amendatory and supplementary act, no property now or hereafter vested in or held by any county, city, borough, village, township or other municipality shall be taken by the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority without the consent of such municipality, unless expressly authorized so to do by the State.

The term "real property" as used in this 1984 amendatory and supplementary act includes lands, structures, franchises and interests in land, including lands under water and riparian rights, and any and all things and rights usually included within that term and includes not only fees simple absolute, but also any and all lesser interests such as easements, rights of way, uses, leases, licenses and all other incorporeal hereditaments, and every estate, interest or right, legal or equitable, including terms for years and liens thereon by way of judgments, mortgages or otherwise, and also claims for damage to real estate.

As used in this section, except as otherwise specifically provided, the increase or decrease in aggregate true value of taxable real property for any adjustment year shall be the difference between: (1) The aggregate true value of that portion of taxable real property, exclusive of Class II railroad property, in the constituent municipality located within the district in the comparison year, and (2) The aggregate true value of that property in the base year. c. Aggregate true value of all taxable real property shall be determined by aggregating the assessed value of all real property within the district boundaries in each constituent municipality, and dividing the total by the average assessment ratio, as promulgated by the Director of the Division of Taxation in the Department of the Treasury for State school aid purposes, on October 1 of the respective years for which aggregate true value is to be determined, pursuant to P.L.1954, c.86 (C.54:1-35.1 et seq.), or as modified by the tax court. d. For the purpose of calculating aggregate true value, the assessed value of taxable real property for any given year shall comprise the sum of the following: (1) The assessed value shown on the assessment duplicate for a given year, as certified by the county board of taxation and reflected in the county table of aggregates prepared pursuant to R.S.54:4-52, or as modified by the county board of taxation; (2) The prorated assessed values pertaining to such year, as certified by the county board of taxation on or before October 10, with respect to the assessor's added assessment list for such year, as the same may be modified by the county board of taxation upon appeal; and (3) The assessed values pertaining to a given year, as certified by the county board of taxation, with respect to the assessor's omitted property assessment list for that year, as the same may be modified by the county board of taxation upon appeal. e. If, during any comparison year, a constituent municipality has received a payment in lieu of real estate taxes on property located within the district, then, for the purpose of calculating the increase or decrease in the municipality's aggregate true value under subsection b. of this section, there shall be added to the aggregate true value for such comparison year an amount determined by dividing the amount of the in lieu payment by the municipal tax rate for the comparison year and dividing the result by the average assessment ratio for school aid purposes as promulgated by the Director of the Division of Taxation in the Department of the Treasury. f. The amount payable to the intermunicipal account by each constituent municipality in any adjustment year shall be determined in the following manner: the apportionment rates calculated for the comparison year shall be multiplied by the increase, if any, in aggregate true value of taxable real property for such year; provided however, that the amount payable to the intermunicipal account in any adjustment year shall be limited to 40 percent of the amount calculated pursuant to this subsection.
