Legislative findings; importance of housing finance agency to revolving housing development and demonstration grant fund
Status: in_force

The Legislature finds that the Revolving Housing Development and Demonstration Grant Fund established under section 5 of the act to which this act is a supplement, through advances to nonprofit and mutual housing sponsors to defray initial development costs of housing projects to be constructed or rehabilitated with mortgages subsidized by State and Federal agencies and through the establishment of and grants to demonstration programs which develop, test and report methods and techniques for preventing and eliminating slums and blight in urban and nonfarm rural areas and rehabilitating housing for families of moderate income, has served to encourage nonprofit and mutual housing sponsors to construct and rehabilitate new and improved moderate income housing for the residents of this State. The Legislature further finds, however, that the continued success of this program is dependent upon a healthy, viable, and protected New Jersey Housing Finance Agency since that agency is the primary State instrumentality for financing actual construction and rehabilitation of moderate income housing units. The Legislature finds that the seed money advances and demonstration grants made through the Revolving Housing Development and Demonstration Grant Fund will not continue to generate additional moderate income housing and innovative housing techniques unless private, nonprofit enterprises are able to obtain sufficient moneys to undertake actual development of moderate income housing through mortgages from the New Jersey Housing Finance Agency. Further, the Legislature finds that uncertainties in the municipal bond market have made it increasingly difficult for the New Jersey Housing Finance Agency, notwithstanding its excellent management and financial records, to sell notes, bonds, and other obligations of the agency and, accordingly, the health, vitality, and productivity of that agency is threatened. The Legislature further finds that expanding the uses of this fund to authorize the commissioner to invest in notes, bonds, or other obligations of the New Jersey Housing Finance Agency and to make grants to the New Jersey Housing Finance Agency so that said agency may establish funds to secure notes, bonds and other obligations of the agency will assist that agency in overcoming the municipal bond market uncertainties and thus retain the vitality of both that agency and the Revolving Housing Development and Demonstration Grant Fund, as well as further serve the valid public purpose of protecting the health and welfare of the residents of this State by eliminating the slums and blighted sections of the urban and nonfarm rural area of this State and ending the shortage of safe and sanitary housing accommodations in this State available to families with moderate income.

Legislative findings
Status: in_force

The Legislature finds that there is an extreme shortage of safe and sanitary accommodations in this State available to families with moderate incomes, and that the ordinary operations of private, profit-making enterprises alone cannot satisfy the demand for such dwelling accommodations. The Legislature finds further that there are in this State many slums and blighted areas which are injurious to the health, safety and welfare of the residents of this State, and that existing programs and technology have not as yet developed techniques for the elimination of such slums and blighted areas. The Legislature hereby finds that various nonprofit corporations and associations and mutual housing associations are desirous of organizing to construct or rehabilitate housing units for families of moderate income, but that those corporations and associations require development funds and technical assistance in the organization and management of nonprofit corporations and mutual housing associations, and that the provision of such development funds and technical assistance to those corporations and associations will maximize the availability of Federal funds and credits which may be used for the construction or rehabilitation of housing units for residents of this State. Further, the Legislature finds that housing development and demonstration programs conducted by the Department of Community Affairs, whether singly or in participation and co-operation with Federal, State or local agencies or with private enterprise, will accelerate the pace of research into, and the development of, techniques for the provision of better, faster and more economical methods of constructing and rehabilitating housing units for families of moderate income, and of eliminating the slums and blighted sections of the urban and nonfarm rural areas of this State. The Legislature further finds that the authority and powers conferred under this act constitute and serve a valid public purpose. L.1967, c. 82, s. 3, eff. May 31, 1967.

The Legislature finds that more than 10,000 "missing persons" reports are filed in New Jersey each year and that hundreds of individual reports are turned into local police departments each week, and that the local police departments have neither the resources nor the experience to carry out a thorough missing persons investigation. The Legislature further finds that, without the expertise developed by experienced missing persons investigators, authorities may inadvertently pass over a report in which the missing person has actually been kidnapped or has met foul play. Federal and State law enforcement officials have recommended that missing persons cases in New Jersey could be better handled by a Statewide effort specializing in this matter. L.1983, c. 467, s. 1.

The surcharge shall be paid on or before December 31 of the time period for which it is payable in the manner prescribed hereinafter, except that if the commencement or second anniversary date of the policy or contract occurs on or after November 1, an estimated initial surcharge shall be paid no later than the end of the sixth month following the commencement or anniversary date of the policy or contract or July 1 following the commencement or anniversary date of the policy or contract, whichever is earlier, and the actual surcharge payable for the initial time period shall be determined and adjustments, if any, shall be made to the surcharge payable for the succeeding time period in the manner prescribed hereinafter.
