Findings, declarations relative to Office of Information Technology.
Status: in_force

7. The Legislature finds and declares: a. Since its inception, the Office of Information Technology (OIT) has served an integral role in providing essential State services, developing the State's technical infrastructure, and maintaining an efficient and transparent State government; b. Beyond its core responsibilities of application development and maintenance, data center operations, and telecommunications, OIT provides invaluable data management, Internet development, and geographic information systems to departments and agencies within the Executive Branch of State Government; c. From developing the Department of Human Services' computer-based disability insurance systems to maintaining criminal databases utilized by the State Police, and from designing the Motor Vehicle Commission's online services to assisting the Division of Taxation in collecting State revenues, OIT provides the critical resources to connect various layers of State Government and deliver services to State residents; d. Despite its achievements, OIT has been restrained by a lack of accountability, control, and monitoring in planning, developing, and conducting department and agency information technology projects; e. The lack of oversight has contributed to disorganization and economic inefficiencies, while also restricting growth, limiting innovation, and discouraging creative input within OIT; f. In order to realize the office's potential, keep pace with technological advancements, and meet the needs of residents and businesses throughout the State, it is necessary to reinforce OIT's role with a new structure, leadership, and mission; and g. Therefore, the State must take a proactive approach in coordinating and integrating information technology planning, budgeting, and spending throughout the Executive Branch to advance cost savings, improve the quality of services, and retain operating efficiencies.

Findings, declaration relative to "Revenue Allocation District Financing Act"
Status: in_force

12. The Legislature finds and declares that: a. There are areas within certain municipalities in this State that deter private capital investment because of the deteriorating condition of the land, buildings and infrastructure within those areas, or that have not experienced private capital investment due to inadequate infrastructure or adverse economic conditions. b. These areas also create an economic burden for the municipality due to the limited tax base and underutilization of resources. c. The scarcity of resources available to municipalities for redevelopment has severely hampered these municipalities' ability to rehabilitate these areas. d. In order to redevelop these areas in a beneficial manner, municipalities should be provided the means to finance certain costs of redevelopment so as to open new avenues for private investment; stimulate commercial, industrial, recreational, cultural, entertainment, civic and educational enterprise; and create favorable conditions for increases in economic activity, property values, employment opportunities and the provision of affordable housing. e. The use of new redevelopment tools as a catalyst for economic revitalization can be maximized if employed in conjunction with the redevelopment planning process established pursuant to P.L.1992, c.79 (C.40A:12A-1 et al.). f. The State should consider, where appropriate, one or more of the following: whether the redevelopment project or plan promotes approaches and concepts to reduce congestion; enhance mobility; assist in the redevelopment of our municipalities; and otherwise improve the quality of life of our citizens. g. It is, therefore, in the public interest to authorize the use of revenue allocation financing by municipalities and the dedication of payments in lieu of taxes toward the retirement of debt incurred in redevelopment, as set forth hereunder, to encourage private investment within areas that are blighted or in need of redevelopment or would otherwise remain unused.

That it is to the economic benefit and general welfare of the citizens of the State to provide sufficient office space and related facilities for these State agencies and thus provide for a more efficient and economic operation of State Government. d. That projects for the construction of correctional facilities are required because of a critical public need and a legal constraint. e. That in order to provide for office space and related facilities at a cost that these State agencies can afford, it is necessary to create and establish a building authority for the purposes of constructing, operating, selling and leasing office buildings and related facilities to meet the needs of State agencies. f.

That the renovation and preservation of historic public buildings contribute to the preservation of the State's heritage, the promotion of the cultural life of our people, and the development and redevelopment of our municipalities. h. For these purposes, there should be created a corporate governmental agency to be known as the "New Jersey Building Authority" which, through issuance of bonds and notes to the private, investing public may provide or obtain the capital resources necessary to acquire, construct, reconstruct, rehabilitate, renovate, preserve or improve these office buildings and related facilities necessary or convenient to the operation of any State agency, or historic public buildings, as the case may be. i. That the acquisition, construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation, renovation, preservation or improvement of these office buildings and related facilities necessary or convenient to the operation of any State agency, and historic public buildings are public uses and public purposes for which public money may be loaned and private property may be acquired and tax exemptions granted, and that the powers and duties of the New Jersey Building Authority as set forth in this act are necessary and proper for the purpose of achieving the ends here recited. j. That the construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation, renovation, preservation and improvement activities of the authority will provide a much needed stimulus for the construction industry, and related industries and professions, particularly in urban areas. k. That the highest priority for the New Jersey Building Authority shall be the renovation and preservation of the following facilities in the State Capital: the State House, the Old Barracks, the War Memorial, the Kelsey Building, and the townhouses adjacent to the Kelsey Building.

Findings
Status: in_force

The Legislature finds that: a. A substantial number of housing units in New Jersey are in deteriorating condition, many residents are living in dwelling units which do not conform to applicable local codes and ordinances that are intended to ensure the health and safety of the occupants, and this condition impedes the development and conservation of healthy, safe, and viable communities in this State; b. The rehabilitation of suitable housing will increase its economic life, is more economical and less disruptive than replacement of the housing and the relocation of its occupants, can better promote community development when conducted through organized housing rehabilitation programs, and is essential to promote sound community development in this State; c. The amount of public resources currently available or likely to be available for the rehabilitation and maintenance of marginal or substandard residential units is grossly inadequate and if significant progress is to be made in reducing or eliminating the stock of substandard housing in this State, it is imperative that the resources of the private sector be utilized to their best effect; d. A partnership of State and local public agencies with private residential financing institutions to coordinate and optimize their respective efforts is critical to any serious attempt to conserve and protect existing housing, and, in this regard, the neighborhood housing services program of the Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation has distinguished itself as a highly effective mechanism for rehabilitating housing and revitalizing declining neighborhoods by combining both public and private resources; and e. The creation and expansion of neighborhood housing services programs within New Jersey hold the promise of improving the quality of life in those neighborhoods beset with problems associated with substandard housing and can serve as a model of an effective and innovative approach to a remedy, which has traditionally been viewed as the exclusive responsibility of the public sector, and by so improving the quality of life throughout New Jersey and forging new methods of public-private cooperation will serve the interests of all of the citizens of this State.

Findings, declarations relative to flammability standards for mattresses and bedding.
Status: in_force

1. The Legislature finds and declares: a. On February 25, 2000, a residential fire in Roxbury, New Jersey, led to the death of 14-month-old toddler Matthew Albrecht. The fire started when a spark from an electrical outlet caused a mattress to ignite. Four days later, Matthew succumbed to the irreversible damage caused by smoke inhalation. This unfortunate tragedy, and many others, could have been prevented by adopting stricter flammability standards for mattresses and box springs for sale in this State. b. Mattresses and bedding are implicated in thousands of fires each year, causing thousands of injuries, hundreds of fatalities, and millions of dollars in property damage. Residential fires involving mattresses and other bedding are in fact more aggressive and deadly than other types of residential fires. The United States Fire Administration estimates that mattress and bedding fires cause more than twice the number of injuries and deaths than other types of residential fires. c. Federal law currently requires that mattresses sold in the United States meet the "Standards for the Flammability of Mattresses and Mattress Pads," 16 CFR Part 1632. The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission recently approved a new federal standard that also will require mattresses to resist open-flame ignitions from lighters, matches, and candles. This new federal standard will be known as the "Standard for the Flammability (Open Flame) of Mattress Sets," (16 CFR Part 1633). The new federal standard is patterned on a standard set by the State of California, codified in California Technical Bulletin 603, "Requirements and Test Procedure for Resistance of a Mattress/Box Spring Set to a Large Open-Flame." d. The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates that 16 CFR Part 1633 will prevent up to 78 percent of current addressable mattress fire-related deaths and up to 84 percent of current addressable related injuries. In its exhaustive cost-benefit analysis of this standard, the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission concluded that the societal benefits from this standard substantially outweigh its costs. e. 16 CFR Part 1633 requires that a mattress be subjected to a specified 30-minute flammability test. During that test: (1) the total heat release during the first 10 minutes of the test may not exceed 15 megajoules; and (2) the peak heat release for the full 30-minute test may not exceed 200 kW. Part 1633 also requires that a mattress undergo certain prototype testing and that the mattress producer maintain certain testing, quality assurance and manufacturing records. Part 1633 allows consumers to order non-fire-retardant mattresses if pursuant to a doctor's order such a mattress is needed to treat or manage a person's physical illness or injury. f. Given the national scope of the mattress manufacturing and retailing industries, it is necessary that uniform national requirements for the fire performance of mattresses be set. For this reason, New Jersey intends for the requirements in this State for the fire performance of mattresses be identical to those required in 16 CFR Part 1633. L.2007, c.141, s.1.

Findings, determinations relative to "Amber's Plan."
Status: in_force

2. a. The Legislature finds and determines that: Public alerts can be one of the most effective tools in combating child abductions; Law enforcement officers and other professionals specializing in the field of abducted and missing children agree that the most critical moments in the search for an abducted child are the first few hours immediately following the abduction, asserting that if a child is not found within two to four hours, it is unlikely that child will be found alive; The rapid dissemination of information, including a description of the missing child, details of the abduction, abductor and vehicle involved, to the citizens of the affected community and region is, therefore, critical; Alerted to an abduction, the citizenry become an extensive network of eyes and ears serving to assist law enforcement in quickly locating and safely recovering the child; and The most effective method of immediately notifying the public of a child abduction is through the broadcast media. b. The Legislature declares that: Given the successes other states and regions have experienced in using broadcast media alerts to quickly locate and safely recover abducted children, it is altogether fitting and proper, and within the public interest, to establish such a program for New Jersey.

Findings, declarations relative to export trade
Status: in_force

1. The Legislature hereby finds and declares that: a. The United States has significantly fallen behind other industrialized nations with respect to the volume of its exports in relation to its gross national product, and this trend will continue as the European economic community grows in strength as an economic competitor; b. The advent of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the opening of markets in Eastern Europe and the nations of the former Soviet Union present important opportunities to expand our markets abroad; c. Export trade has a material impact in bringing about economic expansion and sustainable economic growth, having a particularly salutary effect upon manufacturing industries which have saturated their domestic markets; d. Many small domestic industries have the potential for great expansion through the development of export trade, but lack the incentive, information, expertise, and financing to develop an effective export trade program; e. In order to assist businesses with little or no export experience in establishing a relationship with an export agent which has the appropriate expertise and offers a full range of export services, the Legislature finds it appropriate to establish a voluntary State certification program for qualified export trading corporations organized solely to assist new entrants into the export market, in an effort to ensure a standard of proficiency and reliability in the export services provided.

N.J. Stat. § 52:4-6 — NJ Code / Title 52 / Chapter 4 / Section 4-6
Findings, declarations.
Status: in_force

1. The Legislature finds and declares that: Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders (AANHPI), Middle Easterners and North Africans (MENA), and South Asian and Indian Diaspora peoples are significant and important communities in New Jersey. New Jersey has nearly one million Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders residing in the State, about 10 percent of the State population. The number of Middle Eastern and North African and South Asian and Indian Diaspora residents cannot be accurately determined with the current collection methods. The members of these communities have made significant contributions to the culture and economy of this State. Due to the diversity in the AANHPI communities, the United States Office of Management and Budget's Statistical Policy Directive No. 15, entitled "Race and Ethnic Standards for Federal Statistics," separated the "Asian and Pacific Islander" category into two distinct and separate categories, now called "Asians" and "Native Hawaiians and Other Pacific Islanders." These two distinct categories were first used in the 2000 United States Census. The United States Census Bureau currently reports data for more than 20 different ethnicities within these two categories. The MENA communities in this State and on the federal level are categorized as "White." However, this racial identity has not matched the discrimination in housing, workplaces, and through daily life that many in the MENA community say they have faced. Many younger people in the MENA community often compare their experiences to those in communities of color. However, with a lack of a clear category, this paradox has been difficult to show through data. The South Asian and Indian Diaspora communities in this State often have difficulty selecting which category they fit into when filling out demographic information. Given India's extensive migration history over the centuries, ethnic Indians have established communities on every continent as well as on islands in the Caribbean and the Pacific and Indian Oceans. These communities are wide-ranging and while they do share geographical and cultural commonalities, they also experience diverse social, educational, health, and economic differences that are unique to their respective communities. Existing State law requires demographic data to be collected, which includes the AANHPI communities. However, the collection by State agencies is often far too general and does not incorporate breakdowns for the numerous ethnic groups within the AANHPI communities. Additionally, State law does not require such a breakdown for the MENA and South Asian and Indian Diaspora communities. Also, this data is not made as accessible as it can be to the public. Data should be updated on a regular basis and made accessible to the public so that local governments, elected officials, decision makers, and other stakeholders can use the information to strategically target programs for those most in need. Given the diversity of languages and culture, separating data for additional Asian, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander, Middle Eastern and North African, and South Asian and Indian Diaspora ethnic groups and making that data publicly accessible are critical for enhancing our State's understanding of the needs and experiences of these different communities.

Findings, declarations relative to deployment of oversight monitors in implementation of certain recovery and rebuilding projects.
Status: in_force

1. The Legislature finds and declares that: a. Hurricane Sandy has inflicted approximately $30,000,000,000 worth of damage upon the State and exposed the need for more than $7,000,000,000 in mitigation efforts to buttress the State's defenses from future storms, according to the Governor's initial estimates of November of 2012; b. The State of New Jersey, with the assistance of the federal government, shall endeavor to repair, rebuild, and revitalize the portions of the State devastated by Hurricane Sandy; c. The State of New Jersey is duty bound to its residents and all taxpayers in the United States to ensure that all resources dedicated to the recovery from Hurricane Sandy be applied in an efficient manner and that the State should take all necessary precautions to prevent, detect, and remediate waste, fraud, and abuse; d. Given the severity of the damage caused by Hurricane Sandy and the magnitude of the resources necessary to begin the recovery process there is a need to ensure that the State has sufficient capacity for efficient oversight; and e. The use of integrity monitors as independent oversight providers may be an effective measure to supplement the State's existing compliance control mechanisms to prevent the inefficient expenditure of Hurricane Sandy recovery resources.
