2021 New Jersey Revised Statutes|Title 34 - Labor and Workmen's Compensation|Section 34:1B-371 - Findings, declarations relative to entrepreneurs.

34:1B-371 Findings, declarations relative to entrepreneurs.  66. The Legislature finds and declares that: a. One of the most difficult challenges for upstart entrepreneurs is forgoing employment to launch their businesses. b. For diverse entrepreneurs from underserved populations, this challenge is often exacerbated as these entrepreneurs historically lack funding from family and friends to support their living expenses while building a business without income. c. Having alternative sources of capital and new ways to deploy capital to entrepreneurs can be crucial for disadvantaged entrepreneurs in particular. d. Although many universities provide fellowships for advancing business ideas, this assistance is often only available to students, and there is a dearth of programs designed specifically to support non-student entrepreneurs. e. The New Jersey Economic Development Authority, through the New Jersey Innovation Fellows Program, shall seek to consolidate public and private economic development efforts through various funding sources into one targeted program to invest in diverse talent critical to New Jersey having a vibrant innovation ecosystem. L.2021, c.160, s.66.

NJ Rev Stat § 34:1B-374 (2021)
2021 New Jersey Revised Statutes|Title 34 - Labor and Workmen's Compensation|Section 34:1B-374 - Findings, declarations.

34:1B-374 Findings, declarations.  1. The Legislature finds and declares it to be the public policy of this State that:  a. Investing in water conservation, stormwater management, renewable energy, energy efficiency, and flood and hurricane mitigation improvements to real property is a critical component in conserving natural resources and mitigating the effects of floods and hurricanes;  b. The up-front costs of retrofitting properties with these improvements are often a barrier to investing in such improvements, and the additional cost of meeting and exceeding new code requirements in connection with new construction is a deterrent to the investments;  c. Recent studies have demonstrated that the existing financing options for these projects have not made them sufficiently available to property owners and developers;  d. Property assessed clean energy ("PACE") financing, in which repayment is made by way of a special assessment on the real property to which the improvement, including new construction upon previously unimproved real property, is made, is an innovative way for property owners to finance or refinance renewable energy, energy and water efficiency, and other eligible improvements which, in turn, saves a significant sum in utility costs or insurance premiums, creates jobs, stimulates local economies, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and improves the safety and quality of the building stock; e. To date, PACE programs for commercial properties ("C-PACE") operate in more than 24 other states and the District of Columbia, and they have facilitated more than $2 billion in investment in over 2,100 C-PACE projects;  f. C-PACE financing will enable New Jersey municipalities to contribute toward their goals of community sustainability and reducing greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption, and will provide a valuable service to the citizens of their communities; and g. C-PACE financing serves a valid public purpose and enactment of P.L.2021, c.201 (C.34:1B-374 et al.) is expressly declared to be in the public interest. L.2021, c.201, s.1.
