Findings, declarations
Status: in_force

The Legislature finds and declares that customary demands on municipal services and infrastructure are amplified in municipalities having high population density. The deterioration of infrastructure is especially acute in high density areas when the use of roads and sewerage facilities far exceeds their planned specifications. Heavy concentrations of population place enormous strains on police, fire, and emergency services, health services, transportation systems, infrastructure, and sanitation facilities that cannot be adequately addressed in any municipal budget without excessively taxing already overburdened property owners. In order to maintain these systems and services at acceptable levels it is a proper State purpose to provide aid to municipalities with extreme population density to assure the health, welfare and safety of their residents.

Any such sale, exchange, lease or other disposition may be authorized by resolution of the governing body and, subject to the consent of the commission as aforesaid, may be at public or private sale, through a broker, agent or otherwise, for cash or upon credit, for such consideration, and subject to such conditions and commissions, as the governing body in its discretion may determine. All moneys received by the municipality from any such sale, exchange, lease or other disposition shall, if the commission so provide, be paid only to the account of the reserve fund referred to in section 52:27-25 of this Title. The governing body of any municipality in which the commission is or may be functioning may, upon the express consent in writing of the commission, adopt an ordinance providing for the establishment of a board in the municipality to manage and effect the liquidation of assets theretofore acquired by the municipality (and accruals thereto) consisting of real estate or rights or interests therein acquired by virtue of the enforcement of taxes or special assessments and certificates of tax sale or tax titles standing in the name of the municipality. The function of said board shall be to exercise its powers and perform its duties in such fashion as to liquidate such assets as soon as reasonably possible by the realization of reasonable amounts thereon in cash. Without limitation of the foregoing, the powers and duties of said board to manage and effect such liquidation may include power to require the sale or other disposition of such assets or the compromise of sums due to the municipality in respect thereto, subject to such restrictions as such ordinance may provide. The ordinance shall set forth in particularity the powers and duties of said board and shall determine the size of the membership of the board, and shall fix the terms of office of the members of the board and their qualifications and compensation and the method of computing and paying their compensation and the expenses of the board. The ordinance may provide that the compensation of the members of the board shall be determined, in whole or in part, by the assignment judge of the Superior of the county in which the municipality is located, and it shall be the duty of said judge from time to time to make such determination in accordance with the terms of the ordinance. The members of said board may or may not be residents of the municipality and their terms of office may extend for such period as the ordinance may provide. The ordinance may provide that for all the purposes of the local budget law (R.S. 40:2-1 et seq.) said board shall constitute and be governed as a publicly-owned or operated utility or enterprise, or may provide that the compensation of the members of the board and the expenses of the board may be paid out of the proceeds of such liquidation without further budget or other appropriation or tax levy therefor. Upon the adoption of the ordinance, the clerk of the municipality shall file a certified copy thereof with the assignment judge of the Superior Court of the county in which the municipality is located, and it shall thereupon and thereafter be the duty of said judge to appoint the members of said board, and their successors from time to time, in accordance with the terms of the ordinance. It shall be the duty of the governing body and all other officers of the municipality to do and perform all such acts and things as may be required by said board in order for said board to fulfill its function in accordance with the terms of the ordinance and of this section except when, with respect to any particular such act or thing, the governing body shall adopt a resolution questioning the necessity or advisability thereof in order for said board to fulfill its function in accordance with the terms of the ordinance and of this section. Such resolution shall become of no further force and effect ten days after the adoption thereof unless the clerk of the municipality shall have filed a certified copy thereof with the assignment judge of the Superior Court of the county in which the municipality is located. Upon such filing it shall be the duty of said judge, upon such notice to the board and other interested parties as he may direct, to make a summary investigation into the facts and for that purpose he shall have the power to subpoena witnesses and call before him any officers or employees of the municipality or of the board. Said judge shall determine whether said particular act or thing required by the board is necessary or advisable in order for the board to fulfill its function in accordance with the terms of the ordinance and of this section. He shall embody his determination in an order and file the same, together with the said resolution, in the office of the Clerk of the Superior Court. Upon the filing of such order embodying an affirmative determination, the said resolution of the governing body shall be of no further force and effect, and the governing body and other officers of the municipality shall proceed to do and perform such act or thing. If his determination is in the negative the requirement of the board shall be without force or effect and neither the governing body nor any officer of the municipality shall be under any duty to do and perform such act or thing.

Findings, declarations relative to the office of the State Comptroller.
Status: in_force

1. The Legislature finds and declares that: As the size of State and local government agencies and authorities has grown over the last several decades to meet growing demands for governmental assistance and programs to meet new and growing societal needs, the State's ability to manage the various governmental systems of public financial control and accountability has not matched the State Government's responsibility to subject governmental financial activities to uniform, meaningful, and systematic public scrutiny; Meeting the responsibility for overseeing and promoting the professional conduct of internal audits, providing assurance on the adequacy of internal financial controls within agencies of government, including assessing the adequacy of controls over financial management, contracting, financial reporting and the delivery of government programs and activities with due regard to efficiency, effectiveness and economy is a fundamental duty of governmental officials to the taxpayers and public whom they serve; The Governor has the responsibility to manage the operations of the Executive branch of State government, including oversight of all entities exercising executive branch authority, public institutions of higher education, units of local government and boards of education, efficiently and effectively supported by audit and oversight functions that strengthen public accountability with the goal of increasing public trust and confidence that every tax dollar collected by government is spent wisely and well; There is a compelling need for State government to put into practice the presumption that there will be independence and integrity in the financial oversight of the discharge of its duties and responsibilities carried out in a manner and under a structure that safeguards the fiscal resources with which it has been entrusted; and There is a need, therefore, to establish an independent Office of the State Comptroller which will report directly to the Governor, to ensure that these responsibilities are met.

Findings, declarations.
Status: in_force

1. The Legislature finds that the tourist, resort and convention industry of Atlantic City has traditionally made an important contribution to the economic vitality of this State; that the recent revitalization of that industry as a result of the authorization of casino gaming in Atlantic City has resulted in significant economic benefits not only to the residents of the city and its immediate environs, but to all of the residents of the State in the form of increased business and employment opportunities and augmented State and local revenues; and that the future growth of this industry will depend in part upon the provision and operation of an attractive convention center in Atlantic City or the promotion and marketing of the city of Atlantic City and the provision of an adequate mechanism whereby the interests and efforts of the State, the city and the private sector may be effectively coordinated and the financial soundness of a convention center assured. To this end, the Legislature declares the establishment of an authority having the requisite power to own, lease, promote, operate, maintain, transfer and sell a convention center project in Atlantic City and to promote and market the city of Atlantic City to be in the public interest of the citizens of this State. The Legislature further finds that it is in the best interests of the State for the Atlantic City Convention and Visitors Authority established pursuant to the provisions of P.L.1981, c.459 (C.52:27H-29 et seq.), which is the entity most closely related to the facilities and operations of the Atlantic City convention center project, to acquire ownership of and assume responsibility and control over the daily operations of the project.

(2) Upon vacating the unit, a resident or resident's estate cancelling a continuing care agreement also shall provide written notice to the owner or manager of that facility that the unit is vacated. The notice shall declare that all personal property of the resident or estate thereof has been removed. (3) After a unit is vacated, the facility may restore the unit to its original condition. The facility may remove any personal property of the prior resident that remains in the unit beginning on the twenty-first day following the date upon which notice of vacancy was received. (4) In the case of a continuing care agreement that provides for a refundable entrance fee, the facility shall assign the vacated unit a sequential refund number among all the available units with refundable entrance fees once the unit is restored pursuant to paragraph (3) of this subsection, but not later than 60 days after the date that all the conditions for issuing a sequential refund number, as provided in the continuing care agreement, are fulfilled. b. Upon cancellation of the continuing care agreement by either the resident or the facility, the resident shall have the right to receive a refund of the amount of any entrance fee as provided in the continuing care agreement.

Findings, declarations relative to enforcement of the Model Statute
Status: in_force

1. The Legislature finds and declares that facilitating the diligent enforcement of P.L.1999, c.148 (C.52:4D-1 et seq.), the so-called "Model Statute" contemplated by the "Master Settlement Agreement" which settled tobacco-related litigation between the settling states, including New Jersey, and leading United States tobacco product manufacturers, is beneficial to the public interest. The Model Statute requires tobacco product manufacturers that are not participants in the Master Settlement Agreement to pay into a qualified escrow fund to guarantee a source of compensation to pay any future judgment or settlement that may be reached with the State. Overall tobacco industry compliance with the provisions of the Model Statute will be encouraged by requiring cigarette distributors to stamp and distribute only cigarettes of tobacco product manufacturers that are in compliance with the act and by requiring holders of certificates of authority under P.L.1990, c.39 (C.54:40B-1 et seq.) and other persons that collect or pay the tax on a tobacco product as defined in section 2 of P.L.1990, c.39 (C.54:40B-2) that is also defined as a cigarette under section 2 of P.L.1999, c.148 (C.52:4D-2) to distribute only the tobacco products of tobacco product manufacturers that are in compliance with the act. The establishment of additional procedural enhancements and penalties related to these requirements will aid the State in its continuing diligent enforcement of this law and thereby safeguard the Master Settlement Agreement and the effectuation of the goals of the tobacco litigation settlement, which in turn will have a salutary effect on the fiscal soundness of the State and the public health.

If that coverage is terminated through the action or inaction of the member, the member's spouse or the member's employer, other than pursuant to terms and conditions in effect immediately preceding the call to active duty, the coverage under this section shall also terminate. This section shall not be deemed to replace, supersede or modify health care benefits coverage received by the member, the member's spouse or dependents immediately preceding the call to active duty. g.
