12:11A-1 Legislative findings  1. The Legislature hereby finds and declares: a. that overlapping jurisdiction and responsibility for port development is not conducive to the provision of adequate port facilities in southern New Jersey; that the South Jersey Port Corporation hereinafter established by this act, should be the sole agency for the port development which is the purpose of this act; that said corporation should be vested with powers and responsibilities sufficient to fulfill not only its port development purposes but its financial obligations to the government and people of the State of New Jersey; that the Camden Marine Terminals, presently operated and maintained by the South Jersey Port Commission, are ideally suited to serve as the basis from which future port development in South Jersey may proceed; that the acquisition of said Camden Marine Terminals by the South Jersey Port Corporation will enable said corporation to accomplish the purposes of this act; that the indebtedness of the South Jersey Port Commission to its creditors and bondholders and to the city of Camden is properly an obligation of the State of New Jersey and a responsibility of the State of New Jersey to repay to the extent and in the manner provided herein; that prior to the disposition of the Camden Marine Terminals the financial obligations of the South Jersey Port Commission to the city of Camden must be discharged; that the State has already recognized its responsibility and taken steps to fulfill its obligation to the city of Camden by virtue of the appropriation of $1.5 million from the General Treasury of the State of New Jersey to the South Jersey Port Commission, pursuant to chapter 84 of the Laws of 1967, which sum was applied towards the reduction of the indebtedness of the commission to the city of Camden. b. In order to facilitate the unification of the ports of the Delaware river, as provided in subdivision (m) of the Compact creating the Delaware River Port Authority (R.S.32:3-2), it is in the public interest to provide for the transfer of the port facilities of the corporation to the New Jersey Economic Development Authority so that all or a portion of them may be operated by a subsidiary corporation of the Delaware River Port Authority; that the current outstanding bonded indebtedness of the corporation shall be refunded by the issuance of bonds by the New Jersey Economic Development Authority in order to facilitate that transfer; that provision be made for the employees of the corporation who may be employed by the subsidiary corporation; and that other measures be taken to facilitate the transfer.
