NJ Rev Stat § 6:1-80 (2021)
2021 New Jersey Revised Statutes|Title 6 - Aviation|Section 6:1-80 - Findings, declarations

6:1-80. Findings, declarations  1. It is found and declared by the Legislature that an airport hazard endangers the lives and property of the users of the airport and of occupants of land in the vicinity thereof, and also, if the hazard is of the obstruction type, it reduces the size of the area available for landing, taking-off and maneuvering of aircraft, thus tending to destroy or impair the utility of the airport and the public benefit therein. Accordingly, it is declared:  a. That the creation or establishment of an airport hazard is a public nuisance and an injury to the community served by the airport in question; therefore, it is necessary in the interest of the public health, public safety, and general welfare that the creation or establishment of airport hazards be prevented by the creation of airport safety zones and other means; and  b. That the prevention of the creation or establishment of airport hazards should be accomplished, to the extent legally possible, by the exercise of the police power of the State, without compensation.

NJ Rev Stat § 6:1-90 (2021)
2021 New Jersey Revised Statutes|Title 6 - Aviation|Section 6:1-90 - Findings, declarations.

6:1-90 Findings, declarations.  2. a. The Legislature finds and declares that: (1) New Jersey's public use, general aviation airports are an integral part of the State's transportation network and promote mobility and economic activities of common public benefit. These public use, general aviation transportation facilities are deteriorating and must be improved as to safety and their economic vitality in order to realize their full public benefit. (2) There is a growing need to upgrade the safety of general aviation airports, which require such improvements and equipment as radar, instrument landing aids and weather-reporting equipment to enable them to safely handle modern general aviation aircraft. (3) Many publicly owned, general aviation airports are unable to obtain all of the federal funds available to them for airport development because they are unable to raise money for their local matching requirements. (4) Many privately owned, public use, general aviation airports which are essential to the State's economic development are in danger of conversion to nonaviation uses, and it is in the public interest to provide State assistance to county and municipal efforts to preserve these airports, through acquisition or other means. (5) Users of general aviation airports have contributed substantial amounts to the State treasury through fees and fuel taxes, and this money should henceforth be used to establish an airport assistance program. (6) The long term stability and viability of unrestricted public use airports are greatly dependent upon the economic stability and vitality of the aviation enterprises which are located within them. (7) It is in the public interest for the Department of Transportation to undertake activities which promote aviation safety, promote aviation education, and provide for the promotion of aeronautics. b. The Legislature therefore finds and declares that it is in the public interest to establish an Airport Safety Fund, impose a two cent per gallon tax on fuel distributed to general aviation airports, and authorize the Commissioner of Transportation to establish assistance programs to improve the safety and economic vitality of general aviation airports, to promote aviation safety and education, and to provide for the promotion of aeronautics. c. The Legislature also declares that, inasmuch as federal authorities already register aircraft, it is deemed appropriate to cease the State registration of New Jersey based aircraft, which is currently administered at a net loss.

The commissioner shall also establish certification requirements to ensure that: a. The airport will be owned or effectively controlled, operated, repaired and maintained adequately during the improvement's full useful life, for the benefit of the public; b. In connection with the operation of the airport, during the improvement's full useful life, the public will not be deprived of its rightful, fair, equal and uniform use of the airport; c. The airport will adhere to State and federal laws and regulations. If an airport received financial assistance under section 9 of this act and ceases operations or fails to continue to comply with the provisions of this section before the predetermined life of the financially assisted improvements, as such life is determined by the commissioner at the time the financial assistance is granted, the State shall be reimbursed for the unused portion of such predetermined life and, if not fully reimbursed, the claim shall be a first lien on the airport property to the extent of the unpaid balance; and d.
