Title 52 - STATE GOVERNMENT, DEPARTMENTS AND OFFICERS
Section 52:27D-118.25 - Findings, declarations.
52:27D-118.25 Findings, declarations.
2.The Legislature finds that certain large and small municipalities in this State experience fiscal distress as a result of insufficient collection of tax revenues, insufficient collection of other revenues, over-anticipation of revenues of prior years, or from other causes; that these municipalities function within stringent budgetary constraints, straining their revenue sources to provide basic public services for their residents; that these municipalities may benefit from the expertise of the State in recommending fiscal recovery measures designed to alleviate the fiscal distress they are currently experiencing; and that short-term State assistance, in the form of State grants and loans, may provide the temporary revenue bridge these few municipalities need in order to overcome their current difficulties and regain their financial stability.
The Legislature, therefore, declares that it is fitting and proper, and within the public interest, to provide loans and grants to certain municipalities experiencing budgetary difficulties in generating adequate local revenues in order to assist those municipalities not only in meeting their immediate budgetary needs, but also to enable them to regain their financial stability.
