52:34-13.1. Renegotiation of contract with State or independent State authority

Any person entering into a contract with the State pursuant to the provisions of P.L.1954, c.48 (C.52:34-6 et seq.), or with an independent State authority, which contract requires the contractor to provide for the disposal of solid waste, shall have the right to renegotiate the contract to reflect any increase in solid waste disposal costs whenever:

a. the increase occurred as a result of compliance with an order issued by the Department of Environmental Protection, in conjunction with the Board of Public Utilities, directing the solid waste be disposed at a solid waste facility other than the facility previously utilized by the person to whom the contract has been awarded; or

b. the increase in solid waste disposal costs occurred as a result of lawful increases in the rates, fees or charges imposed on the disposal of solid waste at the solid waste facility utilized by the person to whom the contract has been awarded.

For the purposes of this section, "independent State authority" means an authority, board, bureau, office, commission, committee, council, instrumentality or agency of the State, which is a public body corporate and politic established pursuant to law, having the power to sue and be sued and to issue bonds, but shall not include the New Jersey Transit Corporation established pursuant to P.L.1979, c.150 (C.27:25-1 et seq.).
