Findings, declarations relative to development subsidies.
Status: in_force

2. The Legislature finds and declares that: a. Although the State has granted numerous tax incentives, grants and other economic development subsidies during the last 25 years, the inflation-adjusted wage level for a large portion of New Jersey workers has declined, as has the percentage of working families in New Jersey with health care coverage; b. Some programs providing economic development subsidies lack measurable job creation goals, and in some cases, businesses have closed, relocated or outsourced facilities or jobs for which subsidies were provided to sites outside of the State; c. Citizen participation in economic development has been impeded by a lack of readily accessible information regarding expenditures and outcomes; and d. It is therefore appropriate, in order to improve the effectiveness of expenditures for economic development and to ensure that they achieve the goal of raising living standards for working families, that the State collect, analyze and make public information regarding those expenditures.

Any vendor having a place of business located within an infrastructure district may apply to the Executive Director of the EDA for certification pursuant to this paragraph. The executive director shall certify a vendor if the executive director shall find that the vendor owns or leases and regularly operates a place of business located in an infrastructure district for the purposes of making retail sales, that items are regularly exhibited and offered for retail sale at that location, and that the place of business is not utilized primarily for the purpose of catalogue, Internet or mail order sales. The executive director may at any time revoke a certification granted pursuant to this paragraph. The executive director shall immediately notify the Director of the Division of Taxation in the Department of the Treasury of any such certification or revocation. (2) The rate of the franchise assessment shall be uniform throughout the infrastructure district.

(5) Upon adoption, the authority shall immediately transmit a copy of the resolution to the Director of the Division of Local Government Services in the Department of Community Affairs and to the Director of the Division of Taxation in the Department of the Treasury. Every resolution levying a franchise assessment pursuant to this section shall provide for reporting assessments due and for the collection thereof, and all franchise assessments pursuant to such a resolution shall be remitted to the chief financial officer of the EDA. A resolution levying a franchise assessment shall take effect only on the first day of any month in any year. The resolution shall provide for the allocation and distribution of the proceeds of the franchise assessments collected. (6) The resolution shall set forth the person or persons subject to the franchise assessment payment and collection procedures, and any other matters deemed relevant by the authority with the authority having discretion as to the mechanism to be utilized. The resolution shall also contain findings that the imposition of the franchise assessment is necessary because of the substantial risks undertaken to develop an infrastructure district. (7) The resolution shall provide for the collection of the franchise assessment by an officer of the authority who shall be designated in the resolution; shall provide methods for enforcement; shall provide the permitted uses of the franchise assessment; and may provide penalties for the violation of any of the provisions of the resolution. "Permitted uses" may include the provision of loans, grants, or debt service for financing or refinancing the construction, reconstruction, repair, alteration, improvement, and development of any on-site or off-site infrastructure improvements, or parking or transportation facilities, or work that reduces, abates, or prevents environmental pollution, or other improvements that provide a public benefit within or to an infrastructure district. c. For the purposes of effective administration of the franchise assessment, the authority shall have the authority to: (1) Collect the franchise assessment, interest, and penalties imposed by a resolution adopted pursuant to paragraph (1) of subsection b. of this section which shall from the time due be a debt of the person by whom payable to the authority, recoverable in a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action in the name of the authority to be instituted within three years of the date due. (2) Authorize, as an additional remedy, the chief financial officer of the EDA to issue a certificate to the clerk of the Superior Court that any person is indebted under the resolution in an amount stated in the certificate. Thereupon, the clerk to whom the certificate is issued shall immediately enter upon the record of documented judgments the name of the person, the address of the place of business where the franchise assessment liability was incurred, the amount of the debt so certified, and the date of making of the entry. The making of the entry shall have the same force and effect as the entry of a documented judgment in the office of the clerk, and the chief financial officer of the EDA shall have all the remedies and may take all the proceedings for the collection of the debt which may be had or taken upon the recovery of a judgment in an action, but without prejudice to the person's right of appeal. (3) Provide that, if for any reason the franchise assessment is not paid when due, interest at the rate of 12% per annum on the amount of the franchise assessment due, and an additional penalty of one-half of 1% of the amount of the unpaid assessment for each month or fraction thereof during which the franchise assessment remains unpaid, shall be added and collected. When action is brought for the recovery of any franchise assessment, the person liable therefor shall, in addition, be liable for the reasonable costs of collection and the interest and penalties imposed. Any aggrieved person may, within 90 days of the entry of the decision, order, finding, assessment or action of the chief financial officer of the EDA under this section, file an appeal in the Superior Court, upon payment of the amount stated by the chief financial officer of the EDA to be due. The appeal provided by this section shall be the exclusive remedy available to any person for review of a determination of the chief financial officer of the EDA with respect to a liability for the franchise assessment imposed. For the purposes of this section, "franchise assessment" means an assessment on the amount of the sales price of all tangible personal property and specified digital products, sold by a business, valued in money, whether received in money or otherwise, in the amount of 50 percent of the tax imposed pursuant to the "Sales and Use Tax Act," P.L.1966, c.30 (C.54:32B-1 et seq.); "sales price," "tangible personal property," and "specified digital products" have the meanings given those terms by section 2 of P.L.1966, c.30 (C.54:32B-2).

Such basic benefits shall include benefits for: (i) Additional days of inpatient medical service; (ii) Surgery elsewhere than in a hospital; (iii) X-ray, radioactive isotope therapy and pathology services; (iv) Physical therapy services; (v) Radium or radon therapy services; and the extended basic benefits shall be subject to the same conditions and limitations, applicable to such benefits, as are set forth in "Extended Outpatient Hospital Benefits Rider," Form 1500, 71(9-66), and in "Extended Benefit Rider" (as amended), Form MS 7050J(9-66) issued by the New Jersey "Blue Cross" and "Blue Shield" Plans, respectively, and as the same may be amended or superseded, subject to filing by the Commissioner of Banking and Insurance; and (2) Major medical expense benefits which shall provide benefit payments for reasonable and necessary eligible medical expenses for hospitalization, surgery, medical treatment and other related services and supplies to the extent they are not covered by basic benefits. The commission may, by regulation, determine what types of services and supplies shall be included as "eligible medical services" under the major medical expense benefits coverage as well as those which shall be excluded from or limited under such coverage. Benefit payments for major medical expense benefits shall be equal to a percentage of the reasonable charges for eligible medical services incurred by a covered employee or an employee's covered dependent, during a calendar year as exceed a deductible for such calendar year of $100.00 subject to the maximums hereinafter provided and to the other terms and conditions authorized by this act.

There shall be a separate deductible for each calendar year for (a) each enrolled employee and (b) all enrolled dependents of such employee. Not more than $1,000,000.00 shall be paid for major medical expense benefits with respect to any one person for the entire period of such person's coverage under the plan, whether continuous or interrupted except that this maximum may be reapplied to a covered person in amounts not to exceed $2,000.00 a year.

The same provisions shall apply for retired employees and their dependents. Under the conditions agreed upon by the commission and the carriers as set forth in the contract, the deductible for a calendar year may be satisfied in whole or in part by eligible charges incurred during the last three months of the prior calendar year. Any service determined by regulation of the commission to be an "eligible medical service" under the major medical expense benefits coverage which is performed by a duly licensed practicing psychologist within the lawful scope of psychologist practice shall be recognized for reimbursement under the same conditions as would apply were such service performed by a physician. (B) The contract or contracts purchased by the commission pursuant to subsection c. of section 4 of P.L.1961, c.49 (C.52:14-17.28) shall include coverage for services and benefits that are at a level that is equal to or exceeds the level of services and benefits set forth in this subsection, provided that such services and benefits shall include only those that are eligible medical services and not those deemed experimental, investigative or otherwise not eligible medical services.

The out-of-network deductible shall be $100 per individual and $250 per family for each calendar year, and the participant shall receive reimbursement for out-of-network charges at the rate of 80 percent of reasonable and customary charges, provided that the out-of-pocket maximum shall not exceed $2,000 per individual and $5,000 per family for each calendar year. (2) In the State managed care plan that is required to be included in a contract entered into pursuant to subsection c. of section 4 of P.L.1961, c.49 (C.52:14-17.28), the co-payment for doctor's office visits shall be $15 per visit. The participant shall receive reimbursement for out-of-network charges at the rate of 70% of reasonable and customary charges. The in-network and out-of-network limits, exclusions, maximums, and deductibles shall be substantially equivalent to those in the NJ PLUS plan in effect on June 30, 2007, with adjustments to that plan pursuant to a binding collective negotiations agreement or pursuant to action by the commission, in its sole discretion, to apply such adjustments to State employees for whom there is no majority representative for collective negotiations purposes. (3) "Reasonable and customary charges" means charges based upon the 90th percentile of the usual, customary, and reasonable (UCR) fee schedule determined by the Health Insurance Association of America or a similar nationally recognized database of prevailing health care charges. (D) Benefits under the contract or contracts purchased as authorized by this act may be subject to such limitations, exclusions, or waiting periods as the commission finds to be necessary or desirable to avoid inequity, unnecessary utilization, duplication of services or benefits otherwise available, including coverage afforded under the laws of the United States, such as the federal Medicare program, or for other reasons. Benefits under the contract or contracts purchased as authorized by this act shall include those for the treatment of alcohol use disorder where such treatment is prescribed by a physician and shall also include treatment while confined in or as an outpatient of a licensed hospital or residential treatment program which meets minimum standards of care equivalent to those prescribed by the Joint Commission on Hospital Accreditation. No benefits shall be provided beyond those stipulated in the contracts held by the State Health Benefits Commission. (E) The rates charged for any contract purchased under the authority of this act shall reasonably and equitably reflect the cost of the benefits provided based on principles which in the judgment of the commission are actuarially sound. The rates charged shall be determined by the carrier on accepted group rating principles with due regard to the experience, both past and contemplated, under the contract. The commission shall have the right to particularize subgroups for experience purposes and rates. No increase in rates shall be retroactive. (F) The initial term of any contract purchased by the commission under the authority of this act shall be for such period to which the commission and the carrier may agree, but permission may be made for automatic renewal in the absence of notice of termination by the commission. Subsequent terms for which any contract may be renewed as herein provided shall each be limited to a period not to exceed one year. (G) A contract purchased by the commission pursuant to subsection b. of section 4 of P.L.1961, c.49 (C.52:14-17.28) shall contain a provision that if basic benefits or major medical expense benefits of an employee or of an eligible dependent under the contract, after having been in effect for at least one month in the case of basic benefits or at least three months in the case of major medical expense benefits, is terminated, other than by voluntary cancellation of enrollment, there shall be a 31-day period following the effective date of termination during which such employee or dependent may exercise the option to convert, without evidence of good health, to converted coverage issued by the carriers on a direct payment basis. Such converted coverage shall include benefits of the type classified as "basic benefits" or "major medical expense benefits" in subsection (A) hereof and shall be equivalent to the benefits which had been provided when the person was covered as an employee. The provision shall further stipulate that the employee or dependent exercising the option to convert shall pay the full periodic charges for the converted coverage which shall be subject to such terms and conditions as are normally prescribed by the carrier for this type of coverage. (H) The commission may purchase a contract or contracts to provide drug prescription and other health care benefits or authorize the purchase of a contract or contracts to provide drug prescription and other health care benefits as may be required to implement a duly executed collective negotiations agreement or as may be required to implement a determination by a public employer to provide such benefit or benefits to employees not included in collective negotiations units. (I) The commission shall take action as necessary, in cooperation with the School Employees' Health Benefits Commission established pursuant to section 33 of P.L.2007, c.103 (C.52:14-17.46.3), to effectuate the purposes of the School Employees' Health Benefits Program Act as provided in sections 31 through 41 of P.L.2007, c.103 (C.52:14-17.46.1 through C.52:14-17.46.11) and to enable the School Employees' Health Benefits Commission to begin providing coverage to participants pursuant to the School Employees' Health Benefits Program Act as of July 1, 2008.
