Findings, determinations, declarations
Status: in_force

1. The Legislature hereby finds, determines and declares: a. There is an urgent need to improve the housing conditions of low and moderate income individuals and families, many of whom live in substandard housing, particularly in the older cities of the State; and b. There are large numbers of older residential buildings in the State, both occupied and vacant, which are in urgent need of rehabilitation and which must be rehabilitated if the State's citizens are to be housed in decent, sound, and sanitary conditions; and c. The application of those building code requirements currently in force to housing rehabilitation has led to the imposition of costly and time-consuming requirements which result in a significant reduction in the amount of rehabilitation activity taking place; and d. Extensive research has been conducted, in New Jersey and elsewhere, which can serve as a sound basis for the development and adoption of a building code specifically designed to foster cost-effective housing rehabilitation while ensuring that necessary health and safety requirements are met; and e. Furthermore, in addition to the need for prudent modification of code provisions applicable to rehabilitation of older housing structures, it appears that complaints have from time to time been made that the scope and rigidity of the existing State Uniform Construction Code, as currently adopted and applied, may make excessively stringent and onerous requirements that burden the provision of affordable housing with expenses without any commensurate benefit to the public health, safety and welfare.

Findings, declarations relative to municipal stabilization and recovery.

Bankruptcy proceedings
Status: in_force

a. The commissioner may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction or to the federal bankruptcy court, if that court had previously taken jurisdiction over the provider or facility, for an order authorizing the commissioner to appoint a trustee to rehabilitate or to liquidate the facility if, after notice and hearing pursuant to the "Administrative Procedure Act," P.L. 1968, c. 410 (C. 52:14B-1 et seq.), the commissioner determines that: (1) A portion of a provider's reserve fund escrow as required pursuant to this act has been or is proposed to be released; (2) A provider is or will be unable to meet the pro forma income or cash flow projections filed pursuant to section 7 of this act, except in a manner that may endanger the ability of the provider to fully meet its continuing care contract obligations; (3) A provider has failed to maintain the reserves required under this act; or (4) A provider is bankrupt or insolvent, or in imminent danger of becoming bankrupt or insolvent. b. An order to rehabilitate a facility shall direct the commissioner or trustee to take possession of the property of the provider and to conduct the business thereof, including the employment of managers or agents that the commissioner or trustee deems necessary and to take those steps the court directs toward removal of the causes and conditions which have made rehabilitation necessary. c. If the court finds, upon petition of the commissioner, trustee or provider, or on its own motion, that the objectives of an order to rehabilitate a facility have been accomplished and that the facility may be returned to the provider's management without further jeopardy to the residents, creditors and owners of the facility, and to the public, the court may, upon a full report and accounting of the conduct of the facility's affairs during the rehabilitation and the facility's current financial condition, terminate the rehabilitation and order return of the facility and its assets and affairs to the provider's management. d. If the commissioner determines that further efforts to rehabilitate the provider would be useless, the commissioner may apply to the court for an order of liquidation. e. The court may issue an order of liquidation upon application to the commissioner, whether or not a prior order to rehabilitate the facility had been issued. The order shall act as a revocation of the certificate of authority issued to the facility pursuant to this act. The order shall direct the commissioner or a trustee to marshal and liquidate all of the provider's assets located within the State. f. In applying for an order to rehabilitate or liquidate a facility, the commissioner shall give due consideration in the application to the manner in which the welfare of persons who have previously contracted with the provider for continuing care may be best served. In furtherance of this objective, the proceeds of any lien obtained by the commissioner pursuant to this act may be: (1) Used in full or partial payment of entrance fees; (2) Used on behalf of residents of a facility that is being liquidated; or (3) Paid, on behalf of those persons, to other facilities operated by providers who hold a certificate of authority issued pursuant to this act. g. The court shall refuse or vacate an order for rehabilitation if the provider posts a bond by a surety authorized to do business in this State and executed in favor of the commissioner on behalf of persons who may be found entitled to a refund of entrance fees from the provider or other damages in the event the provider is unable to fulfill the terms of its contracts to provide continuing care at the facility. The amount of the bond shall be equal to the reserve funding which would otherwise need to be available to fulfill the provider's obligations, as determined by the court. h.

Findings, declarations relative to casino gaming properties.
Status: in_force

1. The Legislature finds and declares: a. The "Casino Property Tax Stabilization Act," P.L.2016, c.5 (C.52:27BBBB-18 et seq.), was enacted on May 27, 2016, to address a dire financial circumstance that affected casino gaming properties in Atlantic City, and the finances of the city itself. Competition from other states in New Jersey's region had siphoned off many of the out-of-State and foreign gamblers who had frequented the casino gaming properties in Atlantic City for many years. The regional competition in casino gaming had a deleterious effect on Atlantic City in several ways, including an increase in unemployment due to the closing of four casino properties out of the 12 that had been operating in the city; a strain on Atlantic City's municipal budget due to property tax refunds required by successful assessment appeals of casino gaming properties in the years immediately prior to the enactment of that law; and an increased property tax burden on Atlantic City and Atlantic County residents based on the decreasing value of the remaining casino gaming properties. b. The Legislature responded to this dire financial circumstance by devising a 10-year payment in lieu of property tax (PILOT) program that avoided costly property tax assessment appeals for the operators of casino gaming properties and Atlantic City, and that provided an annual mandatory minimum property tax-related payment to Atlantic City by the casino gaming properties, payments that Atlantic City is able to rely upon each year to support its municipal budget. This annual PILOT payment was first implemented in calendar year 2017, and is to end at the end of calendar year 2026. The operation of the "Casino Property Tax Stabilization Act," P.L.2016, c.5 (C.52:27BBBB-18 et seq.) has stabilized the finances of each individual casino gaming property as well as the finances of Atlantic City. c. The Legislature notes, with interest and approval, the stabilizing effect that the "Casino Property Tax Stabilization Act," P.L.2016, c.5 (C.52:27BBBB-18 et seq.) has had on the finances of the Atlantic City and the casino gaming industry during the first five years of the law. The Legislature also notes that two additional casino gaming properties have opened in Atlantic City since the enactment of the "Casino Property Tax Stabilization Act," P.L.2016, c.5 (C.52:27BBBB-18 et seq.), and that Atlantic City's overall financial condition is more stable since the casino gaming properties began making PILOT payments. This financial stability benefits the casinos, their employees, property taxpayers in Atlantic City, and all New Jersey residents. d. The Legislature finds that this financial stability achieved between the casino gaming properties and Atlantic City may be adversely impacted by certain provisions in the current version of the "Casino Property Tax Stabilization Act," P.L.2016, c.5 (C.52:27BBBB-18 et seq.). As part of the agreement that led to the enactment of that law, it was determined that each casino gaming property would not pay more in the annual PILOT payments than it paid in property taxes in 2015. This provision was made in order to incentivize the casino gaming properties to enter into the PILOT agreement, which was critical to achieving financial stability for both the casino gaming properties and ensuring Atlantic City's ability to anticipate the amount of PILOT funds they would receive from the casino gaming properties. Separately, the investment alternative tax (IAT) levied on the casinos, which had historically funded the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority, was to be paid instead to Atlantic City for the purposes of paying down the city's debt. The "Casino Property Tax Stabilization Act," P.L.2016, c.5 (C.52:27BBBB-18 et seq.), provided that if, in any year, a casino gaming property's PILOT payment exceeded its 2015 property tax bill, it would receive a "credit" against its IAT obligation. This crediting mechanism only extends through calendar year 2021, so beginning in calendar year 2022, current law will require each casino operator in Atlantic City to pay their full PILOT and IAT obligations. e. The Legislature is concerned that, due to the State's public health emergency declared in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which negatively impacted tourism in Atlantic City by restricting the public's right to travel; closing casino gaming properties for months on end and then allowing them to open only partially for another extended period of time; and closing other businesses that would have been visited by tourists to the city for months as well; requiring each casino gaming property to make an annual PILOT payment, as calculated under the current version of the "Casino Property Tax Stabilization Act," P.L.2016, c.5 (C.52:27BBBB-18 et seq.), and also satisfy its full IAT obligations for calendar years 2022 through 2026 may create financial difficulties for those gaming properties. Similarly, the Legislature is also concerned with the impact on the casino gaming properties in Atlantic City of the total amount of the PILOT payments, as calculated under the current version of the "Casino Property Tax Stabilization Act," P.L.2016, c.5 (C.52:27BBBB-18 et seq.), owed by those casino gaming properties, as well as the current manner of determining each individual casino gaming property's PILOT payment responsibility, due to all of the issues experienced in Atlantic City resulting from the public health emergency. The Legislature is concerned that the impact of all of the public health emergency limitations on Atlantic City's casino gaming properties will affect the finances of those casinos for the foreseeable future, and thereby impact their ability to pay the required PILOT payments to the city and impact their ability to contribute to the quality of life of the State's senior and disabled residents who rely on casino revenue deposited into the Casino Revenue Fund to fund programs that reduce property taxes as well as utility assistance programs benefiting those residents. f. Therefore, the Legislature declares that it is a compelling public purpose for the State to establish appropriate alternative obligations for the final five years of the "Casino Property Tax Stabilization Act," P.L.2016, c.5 (C.52:27BBBB-18 et seq.), in order to: (1) adjust policies to reflect the operations of existing casino gaming properties and to compensate for the impacts that the public health emergency, declared in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, has had and will continue to have on in-person and internet gaming, (2) lessen the financial impact of the end of the IAT crediting mechanism at the end of 2021 on the casino gaming properties, and (3) ensure that Atlantic City continues to receive sufficient PILOT payments and IAT payments to fund its municipal budget. The Legislature further declares that such an alternative is in the best interest of the casino gaming industry which serves as a vital part of the economy of the State, in the best interests of Atlantic City, and in the best interests of the State's senior and disabled residents who rely on casino revenue deposited into the Casino Revenue Fund to fund programs that reduce property taxes as well as rentals, telephone, gas, electric, and utility charges for those populations. The Legislature further declares that it is in the best interests of the casino gaming industry to revise the calculation of the PILOT payment each casino is required to pay under the "Casino Property Tax Stabilization Act," P.L.2016, c.5 (C.52:27BBBB-18 et seq.) in order to lessen the impact of these payments on the casino's finances during and after the public health emergency declared in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. g. As the Legislature is empowered by the provisions of Article VIII, Section I, paragraph 2 of the New Jersey Constitution to grant property tax exemptions by general law, and the Legislature exercised this authority in 2016 through enacting the "Casino Property Tax Stabilization Act," P.L.2016, c.5 (C.52:27BBBB-18 et seq.) to create the 10-year PILOT program that began in 2017, the Legislature also has the authority, by law, to revise that PILOT program to thereby address the impact of the expiration of the IAT credit mechanism and its effects on the casino gaming industry in the State, as well as the amount, and calculation, of the PILOT payments required to be paid to Atlantic City by the casino gaming properties in Atlantic City. h. The Legislature has also determined to address in this act other matters related to the continued successful operation of New Jersey's casino gaming properties by ensuring: (1) that the casino gaming properties dedicate sufficient sources of revenue to provide for necessary capital improvements, and (2) that the City of Atlantic City also has adequate funds available to it for capital improvements and other needed quality of life expenditures. L. 2021, c.315, s.1.

Findings, declarations relative to the New Jersey Commerce Commission.
Status: in_force

2. The Legislature finds and declares that: a. New Jersey is in a fierce competition for jobs and businesses, not only with other states, but throughout the world; and b. The State must do all it can to increase opportunities for New Jersey citizens to enjoy economic success and prosperity; and c. To attract business, New Jersey must think and act like a business, by utilizing the best available personnel, without consideration of political affiliation, selected on the basis of the skills, ability and experience, needed to provide enhanced customer service, and by responding to the needs of the business community with flexibility and agility; and d. Commerce and economic development are priorities for New Jersey because success in these endeavors means the creation of jobs for our citizens. As such, commerce and economic development deserve a unique and dynamic role in our State government; and e. Because we soon will be entering the 21st century, New Jersey must now boldly transform its economic development mission to be market driven, mobile and responsive enough to the future's challenges to empower New Jersey to undertake new commercial and economic ventures as the economic engine of the Northeast; and f. The State and its citizens will benefit from a more sharply focused economic development vision, in which the State's efforts are coordinated under one organization, the New Jersey Commerce Commission, that coordinates economic development activities for the State with all related entities, including, but not limited to, the New Jersey Economic Development Authority, the New Jersey Commission on Science and Technology, the New Jersey Urban Enterprise Zone Authority, the Motion Picture and Television Development Commission, and the New Jersey Development Authority for Small Businesses, Minorities and Women's Enterprises; and g. Just as the Legislature 25 years ago could not have predicted the technological and business changes that have taken place since then, this Legislature recognizes that it, too, cannot predict the future and must, therefore, ensure that the New Jersey Commerce Commission has the agility and ability to retool its focus and priorities to ensure the State's capability to respond to the technological and business changes yet to come; and h. Economic growth and prosperity are still the number one priorities for our citizens, and by creating an innovative and independent economic development entity, the New Jersey Commerce Commission, the Legislature reaffirms that it is also a priority of government; and i. The board of directors of the commission appointed pursuant to P.L.1998, c.44 (C.52:27C-61 et al.) should assist the executive director of the commission appointed pursuant to P.L.2007, c.253 (C.34:1A-48.1 et al.) in assuring that persons appointed to the staff of the commission, because they will no longer be in the classified civil service pursuant to Title 11A of the New Jersey Statutes, will be selected on the basis of qualification and professional and technical competence, avoiding political considerations to the maximum extent possible; and j. The New Jersey Commerce Commission promotes economic vitality and builds a foundation for world economic leadership in the 21st century and stimulates dynamic economic growth by providing resources and services to citizens, businesses and institutions, in partnership with other government agencies and the private sector, to create jobs.

Legislative findings and determination
Status: in_force

The Legislature hereby finds and determines that there exists in many municipalities of this State areas which are in varying stages of decline, but which have not as yet reached the point of irreversible decline; that these areas are a matter of serious concern, and represent an expanding problem which threatens the public health, safety, morals and welfare; that the neglect of these areas at the present time will necessitate excessive and disproportionate expenditures of public funds for the reconstruction and revitalization of these areas at a future date; that to permit the continued decline of such areas into a state of decay would ignore the lessons of decades of urban renewal activities, would impair the sound growth of our municipalities, would lay waste to essential housing resources and would result in an economic, environmental, and social liability which the State can no longer tolerate. The Legislature further finds that these problems can best be addressed through the conjunctive and cooperative efforts of private enterprise, State Government, its political subdivisions, and other public, quasi-public, and nonprofit bodies acting pursuant to neighborhood preservation plans conceived and prepared in accordance with the purposes of this act and through its direction. The Legislature further finds that the responsibilities of State and local governments with respect to the preservation of our municipalities and neighborhoods have been altered and magnified by actions of the Federal Government, which now permits states and localities to undertake directly a broader range of housing rehabilitation activities than previously possible under former Federal assistance programs; and that in order that the people of this State shall derive the maximum feasible benefit from this shift in Federal policy, it is necessary and appropriate to expand the power of municipal government and the administrative authority of the Department of Community Affairs. The Legislature hereby declares it to be the policy of the State to promote the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens thereof through the preservation of existing neighborhoods and the maintenance of neighborhood viability. This policy is best effectuated by the reconstruction, remodeling, improvement, restoration, or repair of existing residential housing to sound condition. For this purpose, powers are hereby granted to municipalities and the Department of Community Affairs to offer financial assistance through loans or grants or both to agencies, public, quasi-public, or private nonprofit, which will finance rehabilitation of housing through a program of loans and grants in an area determined by the municipal governing body to be substandard, deteriorating, or in the process of falling into a cycle of disrepair. It is hereby declared that the undertaking of such housing rehabilitation is a public purpose for which monies may be expended, advanced, loaned or granted and the enactment of the provisions hereinafter set forth is in the public interest.
