32:32-11. Not subject to tax
a. It is hereby found, determined and declared that the creation of the fund and the carrying out of its corporate purposes is in all respects for the benefit of the people of the States of New York and New Jersey and in furtherance of their welfare, and is a public purpose, in that the fund will be performing a governmental function in the exercise of the powers conferred upon it by this act.
b. The fund shall not be subject to pay taxes or assessments, by the State of New Jersey, the State of New York, or by any political subdivision of either of them, on any property acquired by it or under its jurisdiction and control, or upon its activities in the operation and maintenance of such properties or upon the use of any moneys, revenues or other income received by it, or upon its income, or upon any of its fees, charges, grants, gifts, appropriations, receipts or other moneys received or to be received.
c.

2023 New Jersey Revised Statutes › Title 32 - Interstate and Port Authorities and Commissions › Section 32:33-1 - Findings and declaration of policy

32:33-1. Findings and declaration of policy
1. a. The compacting states find that:
(1) Industrialized/modular buildings are constructed in factories in the various states and are a growing segment of the nation's affordable housing and commercial building stock.
(2) The regulation of industrialized/modular buildings varies from state to state and locality, which creates confusion and burdens state and local building officials and the industrialized/modular building industry.
(3) Regulation by multiple jurisdictions imposes additional costs, which are ultimately borne by the owners and users of industrialized/modular buildings, restricts market access and discourages the development and incorporation of new technologies.
b. It is the policy of each of the compacting states to:
(1) Provide the states which regulate the design and construction of industrialized/modular buildings with a program to coordinate and uniformly adopt and administer the states' rules and regulations for such buildings, all in a manner to assure interstate reciprocity.
(2) Provide to the United States Congress assurances that would preclude the need for a voluntary preemptive federal regulatory system for modular housing, as outlined in Section 572 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1987, Pub.L.100-242, including development of model standards for modular housing construction, such that design and performance will insure quality, durability and safety; and will be in accordance with cost-effective energy conservation standards; all to promote the lowest total construction and operating costs over the life of such housing.

32:33-2. Definitions
2. As used in this compact, unless the context clearly requires otherwise:
"Commission" means the Interstate Industrialized/Modular Buildings Commission.
"Industrialized/modular building" means any building which is of closed construction; that is, constructed in such a manner that concealed parts or processes of manufacture cannot be inspected at the site without disassembly, damage or destruction, and which is made or assembled in manufacturing facilities off the building site for installation, or assembly and installation on the building site. "Industrialized/modular building" includes, but is not limited to, modular housing which is factory-built single-family and multifamily housing, including closed wall panelized housing, and other modular nonresidential buildings. "Industrialized/modular building" does not include any structure subject to the requirements of the National Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974 (42 U.S.C. s.5401 et seq.).
"Interim reciprocal agreement" means a formal reciprocity agreement between a noncompacting state wherein the noncompacting state agrees that labels evidencing compliance with the model rules and regulations for industrialized/modular buildings, as authorized in Article VIII, section 8, shall be accepted by the state and its subdivisions to permit installation and use of industrialized/modular buildings. Further, the noncompacting state agrees that by legislation or regulation, and appropriate enforcement by uniform administrative procedures, the noncompacting state requires all industrialized/modular building manufacturers within that state to comply with the model rules and regulations for industrialized/modular buildings.
"Model rules and regulations for industrialized/modular buildings" means the construction standards adopted by the commission, after consideration of any recommendations from the rules development committee, which govern the design, manufacture, handling, storage, delivery and installation of industrialized/modular buildings and building components. The construction standards and any amendments thereof shall conform insofar as practicable to model building codes and referenced standards generally accepted and in use throughout the United States.
"State" means a state of the United States, territory or possession of the United States, the District of Columbia, or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
"Uniform administrative procedures" means the procedures adopted by the commission, after consideration of any recommendations from the rules development committee, which state and local officials and other parties in one state will utilize to assure state and local officials and other parties in other states of the substantial compliance of industrialized/modular building construction with the construction standard of requirements of those other states; to assess the adequacy of building systems; and to verify and assure the competency and performance of evaluation and inspection agencies.

2023 New Jersey Revised Statutes › Title 32 - Interstate and Port Authorities and Commissions › Section 32:33-4 - Selection of commissioners

32:33-4. Selection of commissioners
4. The commission shall be selected as follows:
a. As each state becomes a compacting state, one resident shall be appointed as commissioner. The commissioner shall be selected by the governor of the compacting state, being designated from the state agency charged with regulating industrialized/modular buildings or, if a state agency does not exist, being designated from among those building officials with the most appropriate responsibilities in the state. The commissioner may designate another official as an alternate to act on behalf of the commissioner at commission meetings which the commissioner is unable to attend.
b. Each state commissioner shall be appointed, suspended, or removed and shall serve subject to and in accordance with the laws of the state which the commissioner represents; and each vacancy occurring shall be filled in accordance with the laws of the state wherein the vacancy exists.
c. When three state commissioners have been appointed in the manner described, those state commissioners shall select one additional commissioner who shall be a representative of manufacturers of industrial- or commercial-use industrialized/modular buildings. When six state commissioners have been appointed in the manner described, the state commissioners shall select a second additional commissioner who shall be a representative of consumers of industrialized/modular buildings. With each addition of three state commissioners, the state commissioners shall appoint one additional representative commissioner, alternating between a representative of manufacturers of industrialized/modular buildings and consumers of industrialized/modular buildings. The ratio between state commissioners and representative commissioners shall be three to one.
d. In the event states withdraw from the compact or, for any other reason, the number of state commissioners is reduced, the state commissioners shall remove the last added representative commissioner as necessary to maintain a ratio of state commissioners to representative commissioners of three to one.
e. Upon a majority vote of the state commissioners, the state commissioners may remove, fill a vacancy created by, or replace any representative commissioner, provided that any replacement is made from the same representative group and a three to one ratio is maintained. Unless provided otherwise, the representative commissioners shall have the same authority and responsibility as the state commissioners.
f. In addition, the commission may have as a member one commissioner representing the United States government if federal law authorizes such representation. This commissioner shall not vote on matters before the commission. The commissioner shall be appointed by the President of the United States, or in another manner as may be provided by Congress.
