Findings, declarations relative to housing rehabilitation and assistance.
Status: in_force

12. The Legislature finds and declares that: a. The transfer of a portion of the fair share obligations among municipalities has proven to not be a viable method of ensuring that an adequate supply and variety of housing choices are provided in municipalities experiencing growth. Therefore, the use of a regional contribution agreement shall no longer be permitted under P.L.1985, c.222 (C.52:27D-301 et al.). b. Although the elimination of the regional contribution agreement as a tool for the production of affordable housing pursuant to P.L.1985, c.222 (C.52:27D-301 et al.), will impact on some proposed agreements awaiting approval, it is for a public purpose and for the public good that such contracts be declared void for the current and future housing obligation rounds. c. There is a need to assist municipalities in the rehabilitation of housing for occupancy by low and moderate income households. To this end, a specific program for housing rehabilitation by municipalities would best serve this need. It is the intent of the Legislature that this program, as well as funds earmarked for the purposes of the program, will be utilized, especially in urban areas which were the main recipients of regional contribution agreements, to continue to upgrade housing stock in order to provide a wide variety and choice of housing for persons living in those areas. d. There is also a need to provide funding to municipalities to create additional incentives and assistance for the production of safe, decent, and affordable rental and other housing.

Findings, declarations
Status: in_force

The Legislature finds and declares that: a. The Department of Human Services and the Department of Corrections possess real property, all of which is to be maintained and used in furtherance of department goals and functions. b. Pursuant to P.L.1962, c.220 (C.52:31-1.1 et seq.), the department heads, with the approval of the Governor and the State House Commission, may dispose of the State's interest in real property if it is deemed appropriate by the department head. c. Unused property held by the departments and considered surplus property is often transferred from one department to another and sold without adequate legislative oversight and review. d. The resultant lack of guidelines and directives for the use and control of real property in the Department of Human Services and the Department of Corrections precludes any coherent, long-range planning and policy formation for the use of real property in those departments and by the Department of the Treasury. e. Consequently, to centralize and organize the real property inventory of each of these departments and to provide for the maintenance of general legislative oversight for the efficient functioning of these departments, it is in the State's best interests to require these departments to develop and promulgate a master plan which shall be updated annually in a report to the Legislature. f.

Distribution of Consolidated Municipal Property Tax Relief Aid
Status: in_force

2. a. In each State fiscal year, each municipality shall receive Consolidated Municipal Property Tax Relief Aid equal to the amount of Consolidated Municipal Property Tax Relief Aid received in the prior State fiscal year multiplied by the sum of 1.0 and the index rate or zero, whichever is greater. However, any municipality that did not receive a distribution of Consolidated Municipal Property Tax Relief Aid during fiscal year 1999 shall receive aid equal to the amount of Consolidated Municipal Property Tax Relief Aid received in the prior State fiscal year plus the product of the base year amount and the index rate or zero, whichever is greater. As used in this section, "base year amount" means the sum of aid received by the municipality in fiscal year 1995 under those State aid programs which were consolidated in P.L.1995, c.164, the fiscal year 1996 annual appropriations act, under the Consolidated Municipal Property Tax Relief Aid distribution. As used in this section, "index rate" means the rate of annual percentage increase, rounded to the nearest half-percent, in the Implicit Price Deflator for State and Local Government Purchases of Goods and Services, computed and published quarterly by the United States Department of Commerce, Bureau of Economic Analysis, calculating the annual increase therein at the second calendar quarter which occurred in the next preceding State fiscal year. The Director of the Division of Local Government Services shall promulgate annually the index rate to apply in the next following State fiscal year which shall be the same as the index rate determined pursuant to section 4 of P.L.1983, c.49 (C.40A:4-45.1a). Any amount of aid distributed to a municipality in excess of the amount distributed to the municipality for Consolidated Municipal Property Tax Relief Aid during the State fiscal year 1999 shall be used solely and exclusively by each municipality for the purpose of reducing the amount the municipality is required to raise by local property tax levy for municipal purposes. If the amount of the increased distribution exceeds the amount required to be raised by local property tax levy for municipal purposes, the balance of the increased distribution shall be used to reduce the amount the municipality is required to collect for county purposes, notwithstanding the provisions of this or any other law to the contrary. The Director of the Division of Local Government Services in the Department of Community Affairs shall certify annually that each municipality has complied with the requirements set forth herein. b. The amount appropriated for Consolidated Municipal Property Tax Relief Aid in a State fiscal year shall be sufficient to fully fund the distribution to municipalities as determined pursuant to subsection a. of this section. L.1999,c.168,s.2.
