40A:3-2 Findings, declarations.
1. The Legislature finds and declares that:
a. Maintenance of strong financial credit in New Jersey municipalities is essential in providing necessary capital improvement or property at minimum cost, for the citizens of this State;
b. While the credit status of New Jersey's municipalities is sound, it can be strengthened by a pledge of and statutory lien on State Urban Aid, Gross Receipts Tax, State Revenue Sharing, Municipal Purposes Tax Assistance Fund distributions, Business Personal Property Tax Replacement Revenues and any other funds appropriated as State aid and not otherwise dedicated to specific municipal programs to guarantee debt service payments on qualified bonds;
c. Such a pledge and statutory lien should expand the market for and lower the interest costs on qualified bonds issued pursuant to the terms of P.L.1976, c.38, thus reducing the borrowing costs of participating municipalities.
L.1976, c.38, s.1; amended 1991, c.180, s.1; 2015, c.95, s.35.
