When the director finds that none of the conditions listed in section 55 of this act have existed for the period of 1 year in a municipality subject to this article, and he finds that the municipality operated during the last fiscal year without incurring a cash deficit (as computed in the manner provided by N.J.S. 40A:4-42) he shall give notice to the local governing body that the question of the application of this article to that municipality will be placed before the board for its determination at a time and place which shall be stated in the notice.

The board, at the time and place stated in the notice, shall, after giving the local governing body and other interested parties an opportunity to be heard, determine whether any of the conditions listed in section 55 (C. 52:27BB-55) continues to exist in the municipality, and whether the municipality operated during the last fiscal year without incurring such cash deficit. If the board finds that such conditions have not existed for the period of 1 year, and that the municipality operated during said year without incurring such cash deficit, it shall, by resolution, determine that the provisions of this article will no longer be in effect in the municipality.

The director shall forthwith certify to the governing body that the provisions of this article no longer affect that municipality.
