NJ Rev Stat § 52:31-1.6 (2021)
2021 New Jersey Revised Statutes|Title 52 - State Government, Departments and Officers|Section 52:31-1.6 - Findings, declarations

52:31-1.6. Findings, declarations  The Legislature finds and declares that: a. The Department of Human Services and the Department of Corrections possess real property, all of which is to be maintained and used in furtherance of department goals and functions. b. Pursuant to P.L.1962, c.220 (C.52:31-1.1 et seq.), the department heads, with the approval of the Governor and the State House Commission, may dispose of the State's interest in real property if it is deemed appropriate by the department head. c. Unused property held by the departments and considered surplus property is often transferred from one department to another and sold without adequate legislative oversight and review. d. The resultant lack of guidelines and directives for the use and control of real property in the Department of Human Services and the Department of Corrections precludes any coherent, long-range planning and policy formation for the use of real property in those departments and by the Department of the Treasury.  e. Consequently, to centralize and organize the real property inventory of each of these departments and to provide for the maintenance of general legislative oversight for the efficient functioning of these departments, it is in the State's best interests to require these departments to develop and promulgate a master plan which shall be updated annually in a report to the Legislature.  f. Furthermore, it is in the best interests of the Department of the Treasury to assist in the development and promulgation of such a master plan and annual update. L.1989,c.110,s.1.

The Commissioners of the Department of Human Services and the Department of Corrections shall each, in conjunction with the Department of the Treasury, develop and promulgate, and update annually, a comprehensive master plan listing property held by the department and its control and usage by the department. The plan shall: (1) specify the current use of all real property held by the department; (2) provide a five-year projection of the department's use of the property, including anticipated sales, transfers to other departments and changes in intradepartmental use; and (3) provide a five-year projection of any anticipated acquisitions of additional property by the department.  b. The Department of Human Services and the Department of Corrections shall submit the master plan and each annual update thereto concurrently to the General Assembly State Government Committee, the Senate State Government Committee, the General Assembly Appropriations Committee, and the Senate Revenue, Finance and Appropriations Committee. The master plan shall be submitted no longer than one year after the effective date of this act and each update shall be submitted annually on or before July 1.  c. The Department of Human Services and the Department of Corrections, in conjunction with the Department of the Treasury, shall also report to the committees described in subsection b. of this section the transfer or sale of any surplus real property prior to the transfer or sale.  The departments shall provide such notification to the committees simultaneous with any scheduled action by the State House Commission to authorize the sale of the surplus State properties, or in the case of a transfer, 30 days prior to the transfer, whether or not that sale or transfer is identified in or contemplated by the master plan or the most recently submitted update thereof.

The notice shall be made regardless of the value of the property and also shall state whether approval by the State House Commission is required prior to the sale or conveyance or grant.
