Findings, declarations relative to online marketing of affordable housing units.
Status: in_force

1. The Legislature finds and declares that: a. In recent years, housing costs in New Jersey have increased dramatically at rates that have outpaced rises in income, making the State the sixth most expensive in the United States and growing the number of renters and homeowners that are housing cost-burdened, spending a disproportionate percentage of their income on high rent or mortgage payments; b. To address the Statewide shortage in affordable housing, tens of thousands of affordable housing units have been and will be made available to very low-, low-, and moderate-income families, the elderly, and persons with disabilities in New Jersey through a wide variety of federal and State programs, including those implemented under the "Fair Housing Act," P.L.1985, c.222 (C.52:27D-301 et al.); c. Current rules designed to implement the "Fair Housing Act" require that the developer or administrative agent of the affordable units affirmatively market their units through newspaper and radio or television, but digital marketing is not explicitly required; d. Due to the fragmentation of information consumption and the advent of housing search websites, an increasing number of residents are conducting their housing searches online; e. The manner in which residents are searching for affordable housing and the existing rules for affirmatively marketing affordable units are no longer compatible due to changes in technology and, therefore, necessitate an update to facilitate more effective, streamlined, and fair searches of affordable housing for very low-, low-, and moderate-income residents of New Jersey in the furtherance of the "Fair Housing Act"; f. An infrastructure for hosting the increased postings already exists as the New Jersey Housing Resource Center, an affordable housing listing portal overseen by the New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency; and g. It is, therefore, in the interest of the residents of the State, and necessary for ensuring that the State's municipalities are compliant with their constitutional responsibility to affirmatively afford a reasonable opportunity for low- and moderate-income families to reside in their boundaries, that the agency, developers, and municipalities comply with P.L.2020, c.51 (C.52:27D-321.3 et seq.).

"Qualified Municipality Open for Business Incentive Program"
Status: in_force

55. a. There is established in the authority the "Qualified Municipality Open for Business Incentive Program," the purpose of which is to foster business investment in qualified municipalities. Businesses that locate or expand in a qualified municipality during the period that the municipality is under rehabilitation and economic recovery shall be eligible to receive a rebate from the "Corporation Business Tax Act (1945)," P.L.1945, c.162 (C.54:10A-1 et seq.), or the tax imposed on insurers pursuant to P.L.1945, c.132 (C.54:18A-1 et seq.), section 1 of P.L.1950, c.231 (C.17:32-15) and N.J.S.17B:23-5 as provided herein. b. For each year in which a taxpayer is eligible for a rebate of a portion of the incentive payment, the Director of the Division of Taxation shall certify to the State Treasurer (1) that the taxpayer's corporation business tax return or insurance premiums tax return has been filed; (2) that the taxpayer's entire corporation business tax obligation or insurance premiums tax obligation has been satisfied; and (3) the amount of the taxpayer's incentive payment entitlement. Upon such certification, the treasurer shall certify to the executive director of the authority the amount of the taxpayer's incentive payment and, subject to the approval of the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting, transfer that incentive payment to the fund established with the proceeds of those funds appropriated pursuant to subsection b. of section 73 of P.L.2002, c.43. c. The executive director of the authority shall rebate to the taxpayer up to 75% of the incentive payment paid by the taxpayer and placed by the treasurer into a fund established using those funds appropriated pursuant to subsection b. of section 73 of P.L.2002, c.43 if the taxpayer applies for a rebate within two years of deposit of the incentive payment into the fund and establishes to the satisfaction of the executive director of the authority that the taxpayer will utilize those monies for business relocation or business expansion property that will be placed in service or use by the taxpayer after the date of the rebate application. The authority may rebate to the taxpayer up to 100% of the incentive payment paid by the taxpayer and placed by the treasurer into a fund established using those funds appropriated pursuant to subsection b. of section 73 of P.L.2002, c.43 if the taxpayer applies for a rebate and the authority determines that a particular business relocation or business expansion will more effectively contribute to the municipal rehabilitation and economic recovery in a qualified municipality as sought by the Legislature through the enactment of P.L.2002, c.43. In making this determination the authority shall consider: 1) the amount of private investment, 2) the number of jobs concerned, 3) the projected average salary of the employees, 4) whether the investment has the potential to attract additional investment, 5) the impact to the State Treasury, and 6) any other factors that uniquely contribute to the municipal rehabilitation and economic recovery of the qualified municipality. The taxpayer may apply for this incentive prior to its undertaking of the business relocation or business expansion and upon approval the authority may establish a rebate schedule for the incentive payment for a period not to exceed ten years, subject to the taxpayer's continued satisfaction of the criteria of this act and to annual appropriation. The cumulative amount of monies distributed to the taxpayer pursuant to this section shall not exceed the amount paid or to be paid by the taxpayer for the business relocation or business expansion property. In the event that the taxpayer does not establish its eligibility for a rebate of a portion of the incentive payment within two years of its deposit into the fund, the fund shall retain any remaining amount of the incentive payment.
