2021 New Jersey Revised Statutes|Title 34 - Labor and Workmen's Compensation|Section 34:1B-102 - Findings, declarations relative to business directories, public-private cooperation

34:1B-102. Findings, declarations relative to business directories, public-private cooperation  2. The Legislature finds and declares that: a. Hearings held by the General Assembly Task Force on Business Retention, Expansion and Export Opportunities revealed that many companies buy products or services from out-of-state businesses because they are unaware that such goods or services are available from companies within this State, often at a substantial discount from the costs of purchasing the same goods or services from out-of-state companies; b. While the Division of International Trade in the Department of Commerce and Economic Development has developed directories useful for trade purposes which highlight certain selected industries in this State, cutbacks in staff and the limited resources of the department impede its efforts to develop and promote a more comprehensive set of State and regional business directories that could promote the sale of New Jersey's goods and services to other companies within the State as well as to companies in other states and foreign locations; and  c. Given the importance to the State's economy of encouraging the purchase of goods and services from New Jersey businesses, it is in the public interest for the State to place a priority on encouraging the development and use of comprehensive business directories and to undertake public-private cooperation in promoting the purchase of products and services produced in this State.

34:1B-114 Business Retention and Relocation Assistance Grant Program.  3. a. The Business Retention and Relocation Assistance Grant Program is hereby established as a program under the jurisdiction of the New Jersey Economic Development Authority and shall be administered by the authority. The purpose of the program is to encourage economic development and job creation and to preserve jobs that currently exist in New Jersey but which are in danger of being relocated to premises outside of the State. To implement that purpose, and to the extent that funding for the program is available, the program may provide grants of tax credits. To be eligible for any grant of tax credits pursuant to P.L.1996, c.25 (C.34:1B-112 et seq.), a business shall demonstrate to the authority, at the time of application, that the grant of tax credits and resultant retention of full-time jobs and any capital investment will yield a net positive benefit to the State. The net benefit resulting from the retention of full-time jobs and any capital investment by a business that has had grant pre-application meetings with the authority and has executed contracts relating to the new business location during the period commencing May 1, 2010 until the enactment of P.L.2010, c.123, shall be calculated from the date of the initial grant pre-application meeting. b. (1) If an application under P.L.1996, c.25 (C.34:1B-112 et seq.) has been received by the authority prior to the effective date of the "New Jersey Economic Opportunity Act of 2013," P.L.2013, c.161 (C.52:27D-489p et al.), then, to the extent that there remains sufficient financial authorization for the grant of tax credits, the authority is authorized to consider the application and to make a grant of tax credits to an eligible applicant, provided that the authority shall take final action on that grant of tax credits no later than December 31, 2013. (2) A business shall apply for a grant of tax credits under the Business Retention and Relocation Assistance Grant Program prior to the effective date of the "New Jersey Economic Opportunity Act of 2013," P.L.2013, c.161 (C.52:27D-489p et al.), and shall submit its documentation for approval of a grant of tax credits no later than 90 calendar days after the effective date of the "New Jersey Economic Opportunity Act of 2013," P.L.2013, c.161 (C.52:27D-489p et al.). (3) If a business has submitted an application under P.L.1996, c.25 (C.34:1B-112 et seq.) and that application has not been approved for any reason, the lack of approval shall not serve to prejudice in any way the consideration of a new application as may be submitted by a business for the provision of incentives offered pursuant to the "New Jersey Economic Opportunity Act of 2013," P.L.2013, c.161 (C.52:27D-489p et al.).
