52:13H-1. Findings, declarations relative to State-imposed mandates
1. The Legislature finds and declares that:
a. at the November 1995 general election, the people of this State approved an amendment to the New Jersey Constitution providing that, in certain cases, new statutes and new administrative rules and regulations promulgated by State agencies shall not impose unfunded mandates on counties, municipalities or school districts;
b. the purpose of this constitutional provision is to prevent the State government from requiring units of local government to implement additional or expanded activities without providing funding for those activities;
c. the long-standing, prior practice of State-imposed, unfunded mandates has contributed to the rise in local property taxes which has increasingly burdened New Jersey's property owners;
d. the constitutional amendment also directs the Legislature to create a Council on Local Mandates to resolve disputes regarding whether a law or a rule or regulation, covered by the amendment, constitutes an unfunded State mandate; and
e. it is, therefore, the purpose of this act to effectuate the will of the people of this State and to fulfill the Legislature's responsibility to establish the Council on Local Mandates.

2. Except as provided in section 3 of this act, any provision of a law enacted on or after January 17, 1996, or any part of a rule or regulation originally adopted after July 1, 1996 pursuant to a law regardless of when that law was enacted, which is determined in accordance with the provisions of this act to be an unfunded mandate upon boards of education, counties, municipalities, or fire districts designated by municipal ordinance, because it does not authorize resources to offset the additional direct expenditures required for the implementation of the law or the rule or regulation, shall cease to be mandatory in its effect and shall expire. A provision of a law or part of a rule or regulation determined to be an unfunded mandate shall resume its mandatory effect if, after enactment of the law or adoption of a rule or regulation, resources are authorized to offset the additional direct expenditures required for the implementation thereof.
A law or a rule or regulation which is determined to be an unfunded mandate shall not be considered to establish a standard of care for the purpose of civil liability.

52:13H-21 Findings, declarations relative to unfunded mandates and local governments and school districts.
1. The Legislature finds and declares:
Over the past four decades, prior to adoption of the constitutional amendment prohibiting unfunded State mandates on local government, the State routinely and systematically imposed greater and greater numbers of mandates, orders, directives and burdens on local government. This web of mandates and burdens came about as the result of the enactment and adoption of a plethora of unrelated laws and regulations addressing many and diverse issues. While these actions by State government occurred in order to address a variety of public concerns, they all shared a common philosophical underpinning: the mandatory implementation of State policy directives by local government officials.
While the overwhelming majority of these statutes and regulations was established by sincere-minded and well-intentioned public officials in order to address legitimate public concerns, the collective regulatory weight of these mandates on local officials continues to be a matter of deep concern and a subject that cries for legislative relief.
In response to this decades long pattern of seemingly inexorable increases in burdensome mandates from Trenton, local officials repeatedly petition the Legislature for relief. In response to entreaties of local officials, various committees of several Legislatures have determined to continue to address the problem of burdensome mandates on an expedited basis through the enactment of omnibus acts that repeal or modify many of those mandates, resolve administrative ambiguities and encourage more businesslike practices. This is the third such omnibus mandate relief act.
