2021 New Jersey Revised Statutes|Title 52 - State Government, Departments and Officers|Section 52:9RR-1 - Findings, declarations relative to housing affordability.

52:9RR-1 Findings, declarations relative to housing affordability.  1. The Legislature finds and declares: a. It has been more than twenty years since the Legislature enacted the "Fair Housing Act," P.L.1985, c.222 (C.52:27D-301 et al.) which provides a voluntary system for municipalities to follow in zoning for affordable housing. Since the time of the enactment of this law, there has not been a unified review by the Legislature of the administration of the "Fair Housing Act," or a review of the issue of housing availability and affordability in general. b. Soaring housing prices, escalating property taxes, increasing municipal fees, rising energy costs, and the costs to implement various State rules and regulations have put housing out of the reach of many citizens, particularly senior citizens on fixed incomes. c. Available land to develop is rapidly dwindling, causing many experts to predict that New Jersey will be "built-out" by the end of the next decade. New Jersey currently is the most densely populated State in the nation. d. Conflicting public policies on land use and planning have resulted in a lack of a coordinated approach by the State in addressing the issues that relate to the availability of decent, affordable housing for both home buyers and renters. e. There is a need for continued, integrated oversight by the Legislature to review and shape solutions to address the State's residents' housing needs, and to address the Legislature's responsibility for the "Fair Housing Act" as an alternative to the court's remedies granted under the Mount Laurel doctrine.

The staff of the Joint Committee shall review all bills introduced into both houses each Legislative session for identification of those bills which will clearly have a significant impact upon the cost, availability, or affordability of housing in New Jersey. A list of those bills so identified shall be prepared, and thereafter a statement to the sponsor and the chairman of the committee, if any, to which a bill on the list was referred, or to the presiding officer of the House in which the bill originated if no such reference was made, shall be sent by the Joint Committee Staff indicating that a housing affordability impact note is required. An impact note for each bill on the list shall thereafter be completed by the Joint Committee as soon as practicable, unless a request to expedite the preparation of an impact note is made by the bill's sponsor.
