A third-party medical claims reviewer, procured pursuant to section 2 of P.L.2019, c.143 (C.52:14-17.30b), shall, in the performance of services for the program, act in the best interests of the State, participating employers, and covered employees and their enrolled eligible dependents.

The third-party medical claims reviewer shall collect, store and maintain a secure archive of medical and prescription drug claims data and other health services payment information and provide such data and other reports in compliance with applicable State and federal laws, including the "Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996," Pub.L.104-191, to document the cost and nature of claims incurred, demographic information on the covered population, emerging utilization and demographic trends, and such other information as may be available to assist in the governance of the program and in timely response to any requests from the Governor, the State Treasurer, the Division of Pensions and Benefits, the School Employees' Health Benefits Commission, the School Employees' Health Benefits Plan Design Committee, the President of the Senate, and the Speaker of the General Assembly. Such claims data shall include, but not be limited to, for each claim, the claim number, provider information, amount charged, amount paid, and the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code. The School Employees' Health Benefits Commission, the School Employees' Health Benefits Plan Design Committee, the State Treasurer, or the Division of Pensions and Benefits may direct the third-party medical claims reviewer to provide appropriate medical and prescription drug claims and other health services payment data to a health care services provider or other authorized entity, in compliance with applicable State and federal laws, including the "Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996," Pub.L.104-191, for the specific purpose of improving the quality and value of health care services delivered to program participants. The State Treasurer shall deposit into the subaccount the moneys necessary to accomplish the purposes of this subsection, including moneys paid by employers participating in the program, and contributed by covered employees and retirees. Deposits and contributions to the subaccount shall be applied to the distribution of payments for the costs of health care services and prescription drug benefits and to fund the reasonable costs of administering the subaccount. Assets in the subaccount shall be expended or withdrawn, and deposits and withdrawals shall be reconciled, in accordance with regulations and procedures adopted pursuant to this subsection. Moneys in the subaccount shall be invested in permitted investments or shall be held in interest-bearing accounts in such depositories as the State Treasurer may select, and may be invested and reinvested in permitted investments or invested and reinvested in the same manner as other accounts in the custody of the State Treasurer as provided by law. All interest or other income or earnings derived from the investment or reinvestment of moneys in the subaccount shall be credited thereto and shall be determined on an aggregate basis for all participating employers. The State Treasurer shall adopt, pursuant to the "Administrative Procedure Act," P.L.1968, c.410 (C.52:14B-1 et seq.), such rules and regulations as may be necessary to implement the provisions of this act, P.L.2019, c.143 (C.52:14-17.30a et al.). e.

Such code shall conform to the general standards hereinafter set forth in this section, but it shall be formulated with respect to the particular needs and problems of the agency to which said code is to apply and, when applicable, shall be a supplement to the uniform ethics code promulgated pursuant to paragraph (2) of this subsection. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this section, the New Jersey members to any interstate agency to which New Jersey is a party and the officers and employees of any State agency which fails to promulgate a code of ethics shall be deemed to be subject to a code of ethics the provisions of which shall be paragraphs (1) through (6) of subsection (e) of this section. (2) Within 180 days following the effective date of this act, P.L.2005, c.382, the State Ethics Commission shall promulgate a uniform ethics code to govern and guide the conduct of State officers and employees and special State officers and employees in State agencies in the Executive Branch. Such code shall conform to the general standards hereinafter set forth in this section, shall be the primary code of ethics for State agencies once it is adopted and a code promulgated pursuant to paragraph (1) of this subsection shall be a supplement to the primary code. The head of each State agency, or the principal officer in charge of a division, board, bureau, commission or other instrumentality within a department of State Government designated by the head of such department shall revise each code of ethics promulgated prior to the uniform code to recognize the uniform code as the primary code. (b) A code of ethics formulated pursuant to subsection (a) of this section to govern and guide the conduct of the State officers and employees or the special State officers and employees in any State agency in the Executive Branch, or any portion of such a code, shall not be effective unless it has first been approved by the State Ethics Commission. When a proposed code is submitted to the said commission it shall be accompanied by an opinion of the Attorney General as to its compliance with the provisions of this act and any other applicable provision of law. Nothing contained herein shall prevent officers of State agencies in the Executive Branch from consulting with the Attorney General or with the State Ethics Commission at any time in connection with the preparation or revision of such codes of ethics. (c) A code of ethics formulated pursuant to this section to govern and guide the conduct of the members of the Legislature, State officers and employees or special State officers and employees in any State agency in the Legislative Branch, or any portion of such code, shall not be effective unless it has first been approved by the Legislature by concurrent resolution. When a proposed code is submitted to the Legislature for approval it shall be accompanied by an opinion of the chief counsel as to its compliance with the provisions of this act and any other applicable provisions of law. Nothing contained herein shall prevent officers of State agencies in the Legislative Branch from consulting with the Chief Legislative Counsel or the Joint Legislative Committee on Ethical Standards at any time in connection with the preparation or revision of such codes of ethics. (d) Violations of a code of ethics promulgated pursuant to this section shall be cause for removal, suspension, demotion or other disciplinary action by the State officer or agency having the power of removal or discipline. When a person who is in the classified civil service is charged with a violation of such a code of ethics, the procedure leading to such removal or discipline shall be governed by any applicable provisions of the Civil Service Act, N.J.S. 11A:1-1 et seq., and the Rules of the Civil Service Commission. No action for removal or discipline shall be taken under this subsection except upon the referral or with the approval of the State Ethics Commission or the Joint Legislative Committee on Ethical Standards, whichever is authorized to exercise jurisdiction with respect to the complaint upon which such action for removal or discipline is to be taken. (e) A code of ethics for officers and employees of a State agency shall conform to the following general standards: (1) No State officer or employee or special State officer or employee should have any interest, financial or otherwise, direct or indirect, or engage in any business or transaction or professional activity, which is in substantial conflict with the proper discharge of his duties in the public interest. (2) No State officer or employee or special State officer or employee should engage in any particular business, profession, trade or occupation which is subject to licensing or regulation by a specific agency of State Government without promptly filing notice of such activity with the State Ethics Commission, if he is an officer or employee in the Executive Branch, or with the Joint Legislative Committee on Ethical Standards, if he is an officer or employee in the Legislative Branch. (3) No State officer or employee or special State officer or employee should use or attempt to use his official position to secure unwarranted privileges or advantages for himself or others. (4) No State officer or employee or special State officer or employee should act in his official capacity in any matter wherein he has a direct or indirect personal financial interest that might reasonably be expected to impair his objectivity or independence of judgment. (5) No State officer or employee or special State officer or employee should undertake any employment or service, whether compensated or not, which might reasonably be expected to impair his objectivity and independence of judgment in the exercise of his official duties. (6) No State officer or employee or special State officer or employee should accept any gift, favor, service or other thing of value under circumstances from which it might be reasonably inferred that such gift, service or other thing of value was given or offered for the purpose of influencing him in the discharge of his official duties. (7) No State officer or employee or special State officer or employee should knowingly act in any way that might reasonably be expected to create an impression or suspicion among the public having knowledge of his acts that he may be engaged in conduct violative of his trust as a State officer or employee or special State officer or employee. (8) Rules of conduct adopted pursuant to these principles should recognize that under our democratic form of government public officials and employees should be drawn from all of our society, that citizens who serve in government cannot and should not be expected to be without any personal interest in the decisions and policies of government; that citizens who are government officials and employees have a right to private interests of a personal, financial and economic nature; that standards of conduct should separate those conflicts of interest which are unavoidable in a free society from those conflicts of interest which are substantial and material, or which bring government into disrepute. (f) The code of ethics for members of the Legislature shall conform to subsection (e) hereof as nearly as may be possible. L.1971, c.182, s.12; amended 1987, c.432, s.6; 2005, c.382, s.10; 2008, c.29, s.104.

Findings, declarations relative to municipal rehabilitation and economic recovery
Status: in_force

2. The Legislature finds and declares that: a. There exists in certain municipalities a continuing state of fiscal distress which endures despite the imposition of a series of measures authorized pursuant to law; b. Economically impoverished, those municipalities have a history of high crime rates, including arson, that has necessitated the maintenance of large police and fire departments, at enormous taxpayer cost in municipalities without a sound tax base; c. The past fifty years have witnessed the depopulation of those municipalities characterized by such problems; d. Spending power on the part of residents of these municipalities is severely limited and local businesses thereby suffer from the lack of an indigenous client base so that rebuilding the fortunes of city residents in order to recreate a viable urban economy will require a considerable period of time; e. Notwithstanding the prosperity which has been experienced elsewhere throughout New Jersey in recent years, the unemployment rate in these municipalities is substantially higher than that of most other municipalities; f. While the rest of New Jersey has enjoyed increased land values, the ratable base in these municipalities has declined steadily during the 1990's, marked by their low equalized value per capita which can be about one-half that of other cities; g. Coupled with this economic deprivation, many of these municipalities are characterized by a lack of internal audit controls, accountability and oversight, evidenced by the fact that although real estate taxes comprise over two-thirds of locally generated revenues, many of these municipalities do not rigorously enforce collection and receive but a portion of their levy; h. Although the State has experienced a period of tremendous prosperity and economic growth over the past few years, such municipalities continue to languish without any obvious signs of improvement; i. These municipalities have experienced a substantial budget deficit for many years which has only been addressed through extraordinary payments of State aid; j. While State aid dollars which have been directed toward such municipalities have served to address their structural deficits, they have not, and cannot, function as an economic impetus toward the rebuilding of those municipalities; k. Because a significant proportion of the population of such municipalities lacks adequate health insurance coverage, causing many to seek basic care in municipal emergency rooms, municipal hospitals are heavily dependent upon State assistance commonly referred to as "charity care" for reimbursement. Such health services are crucial to the overall health of the infrastructure and social growth and stability of qualified municipalities. Moreover, the demand for such health services has necessitated planning for a major expansion of medical school programs within qualified municipalities; l. Given the high crime rates in these municipalities, if economic recovery is to be successful, it is vital that municipal residents feel that their basic safety is assured; accordingly, the State will continue to commit to assist such municipalities in maintaining not less than that number of police officers employed by the municipality at the time of the determination by the commissioner that the municipality fulfills the definition of a qualified municipality and in creating working relationships between State agencies, local law enforcement and the community to identify and develop strategies to improve the quality of life and the security of residents in qualified municipalities; m. In order to ensure the long-term economic viability of such municipalities, it is critical that the Legislature encourage, to the extent possible, the production of market-rate housing within the municipality so as to expand the local tax base and provide a greater diversity of income levels among municipal inhabitants; n. When faced with analogous situations, other states have employed extraordinary measures to provide leadership and oversight for struggling cities and the necessary tools to spur an economic revival within those cities; and o. In light of the dire needs faced by such municipalities and the lack of progress in addressing those needs either governmentally or through private sector initiative, and given the successful interventions on the part of other states in analogous circumstances, it is incumbent upon the State to take exceptional measures, on an interim basis, to rectify certain governance issues faced by such municipalities and to strategically invest those sums of money necessary in order to assure the long-term financial viability of these municipalities.

Findings, declarations relative to lead hazard control.
Status: in_force

2. The Legislature finds and declares: a. Lead is an element that has been used over the years in many products. The toxicity of lead has been known for several decades, causing its inclusion in products such as gasoline and residential paint to be banned by the federal government. b. All animals and people can be negatively affected by lead, depending upon the amount, duration, and promptness of treatment. The range of health effects includes reduced stature, miscarriage, hypertension, and, most notably, neurological damage, particularly in children whose brains are developing. c. Although a number of sources of lead exposure have been brought under control, environmental and public health professionals believe that the toxic metal lead is the number one environmental hazard facing children today. A substantial majority of lead exposure is derived from lead-based paint and dust. d. Because of the age of New Jersey's housing stock, our State is among the states with the most serious risk of exposure from previous residential use of lead-based paint. It is estimated that there are about two million homes which were constructed in New Jersey prior to 1978, the year in which the sale of lead in paint for residential use was banned. e. A comprehensive program to identify lead hazards in residential housing and also to identify housing which is safe from exposure to lead hazards is necessary in order to eradicate the major source of lead exposure to our State's children. The Legislature further finds that children living in rental housing are particularly at risk to exposure from lead because tenants do not have the requisite control over rental units to abate lead hazards from the property. Therefore, the comprehensive program will emphasize methods to safeguard children residing in rental housing and require the State to track the progress of making all of New Jersey's rental housing stock more lead safe.
