Title 52 - STATE GOVERNMENT, DEPARTMENTS AND OFFICERS
Section 52:9H-19 - Use of balances for meeting costs of emergency
52:9H-19. Use of balances for meeting costs of emergency
The provisions of this act shall not be construed to render balances in the "Surplus Revenue Fund" unavailable for meeting the costs of any emergency identified by the Governor. Balances in the "Surplus Revenue Fund" are appropriated for that purpose, provided however, that the Governor shall notify the Joint Budget Oversight Committee, or its successor, of his determination that balances in the fund are required to meet an emergency, describing the nature of the emergency and the intended use of the funds in meeting the emergency. Upon notice to the Governor that such expenditures have been approved by the committee, or its successor, the expenditure of such funds shall be lawful. As used in this section, "emergency" means any condition or occurrence which requires an immediate response in the protection of the life, safety or well-being of the citizens of this State, or any of them, or in the protection or restoration of property, public or private, endangered, damaged, or destroyed as a result, actual or potential, of such condition or occurrence.
