NJ Rev Stat § 40:9B-3 (2021)
2021 New Jersey Revised Statutes|Title 40 - Municipalities and Counties|Section 40:9B-3 - Legislative findings

40:9B-3. Legislative findings  The Legislature hereby recognizes that it is the declared public policy of this State that the social and personal anguish of drug addiction is a grave public concern, and that priority should be given to the establishment of a comprehensive program to be achieved through the coordinated efforts and resources both of public and private agencies to prevent and control drug addiction and to provide diagnosis, treatment care and rehabilitation for drug addicts. The Legislature further recognizes that the costs incurred in treating and rehabilitating the addict and in counseling the potential addict have become increasingly expensive, and that current financial exigencies are creating additional burdens for private, nonprofit agencies performing this important public service, while also rendering the cost of establishing new treatment centers prohibitive for local units of government. Therefore, the Legislature hereby finds that because private, nonprofit agencies are providing services which are in furtherance of a policy in an area of grave public concern, it is in the public interest to authorize counties and municipalities to appropriate funds for the purpose of helping to defray expenses incurred by such private agencies in the provision of narcotic and drug abuse treatment facilities and programs to community residents. L.1974, c. 120, s. 1, eff. Oct. 10, 1974.

2021 New Jersey Revised Statutes|Title 40 - Municipalities and Counties|Section 40:10B-2 - Legislative findings and declarations

40:10B-2. Legislative findings and declarations  The Legislature finds that within the State of New Jersey, there are many historic cemeteries in which are interred the bodies of citizens who settled and first developed the colonial lands of East Jersey and West Jersey, fought to secure and preserve freedom and liberty, contributed to the historic and cultural development and evolution of the State, its counties and municipalities, and participated in events of historical and cultural importance and significance. The Legislature further finds that because of a lack of funds available to restore, maintain and preserve many of these historic cemeteries, they have fallen into disrepair, disorder and decay. The Legislature further finds that such cemeteries serve to remind us of our cultural and historical heritage, rekindle an awareness of the difficult struggles and unique achievements of preceding generations, and renew, in each succeeding generation, an appreciation and an understanding of the patterns of our State and local history. The Legislature, therefore, declares that it is altogether fitting and proper, and in the public interest, to enable local governmental units to assist in the restoration, maintenance and preservation of such cemeteries.
