The amount hereinabove appropriated for Consolidated Municipal Property Tax Relief Aid shall be distributed on the following schedule: on or before August 1, 45% of the total amount due; September 1, 30% of the total amount due; October 1, 15% of the total amount due; November 1, 5% of the total amount due; December 1 for municipalities operating under a calendar fiscal year, 5% of the total amount due; and June 1 for municipalities operating under the State fiscal year, 5% of the total amount due; provided, however, that notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, the Director of Local Government Services, in consultation with the Commissioner of Community Affairs and the State Treasurer, may direct the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting to provide such payments on an accelerated schedule if necessary to ensure fiscal stability for a municipality.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, from the amounts received from the appropriation to the Consolidated Municipal Property Tax Relief Aid program and received from amounts transferred from Consolidated Municipal Property Tax Relief Aid to the Energy Tax Receipts Property Tax Relief Aid account, each municipality shall be required to distribute to each fire district within its boundaries the amount received by the fire district from the Supplementary Aid for Fire Services program pursuant to the provisions of the fiscal year 1995 annual appropriations act, P.L.1994, c.67, less an amount proportional to reductions in the combined total amount received by the municipality from Consolidated Municipal Property Tax Relief Aid and from the Energy Tax Receipts Property Tax Relief Fund/Aid account since fiscal year 2008.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, the amount hereinabove appropriated for Consolidated Municipal Property Tax Relief Aid shall be distributed in the same amounts, and to the same municipalities that received funding pursuant to the previous fiscal year’s annual appropriations act; provided further, however, that from the amount hereinabove appropriated there are transferred to the Energy Tax Receipts Property Tax Relief Aid account such amounts as were determined for the 12-month accounting period ending June 30, 2021 and prior fiscal years pursuant to subsection e. of section 2 of P.L.1997, c.167 (C.52:27D-439), as amended by P.L.1999, c.168; the amount of Consolidated Municipal Property Tax Relief Aid received by any other municipality shall be increased by such amounts of Transitional Aid to Localities deemed to constitute Consolidated Municipal Property Tax Relief Aid by the Director of the Division of Local Government Services in the previous fiscal year.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, the Director of the Division of Local Government Services shall take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that proportional amounts of the Consolidated Municipal Property Tax Relief Aid and the amounts transferred from Consolidated Municipal Property Tax Relief Aid to the Energy Tax Receipts Property Tax Relief Aid account appropriated to offset losses from business personal property tax that would have otherwise been used for the support of public schools will be used to reduce the school property tax levy for those affected school districts with the remaining State Aid used as municipal property tax relief. The chief financial officer of the municipality shall pay to the school districts such amounts as may be due by December 31.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, the release of the total annual amount due for the current fiscal year from Consolidated Municipal Property Tax Relief Aid to municipalities is subject to the following condition: the municipality shall submit to the Director of the Division of Local Government Services a report describing the municipality’s compliance with the “Best Practices Inventory” established by the Director of the Division of Local Government Services and shall receive at least a minimum score on such inventory as determined by the Director of the Division of Local Government Services; provided, however, that the director may take into account the particular circumstances of a municipality. In preparing the “Best Practices Inventory,” the director shall identify best municipal practices in the areas of general administration, fiscal management, and operational activities, as well as the particular circumstances of a municipality, in determining the minimum score acceptable for the release of the total annual amount due for the current fiscal year.

The Director of the Division of Local Government Services may permit any municipality that received “Regional Efficiency Aid Program” funds pursuant to the annual appropriations act for fiscal year 2010, P.L.2009, c.68, to use a portion of its Consolidated Municipal Property Tax Relief Aid or Energy Tax Receipts Property Tax Relief Aid, or both Consolidated Municipal Property Tax Relief Aid and Energy Tax Receipts Property Tax Relief Aid, to provide “Regional Efficiency Aid Program” benefits pursuant to P.L.1999, c.61 (C.54:4-8.76 et seq.).

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, the amount hereinabove appropriated for Trenton Capital City Aid is subject to the following condition: The City of Trenton shall enter into an agreement with the Department of Community Affairs setting forth the terms and conditions for receipt of such aid, which shall include financial and operational oversight by the Director of the Division of Local Government Services in the Department of Community Affairs.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, the amount hereinabove appropriated for Consolidation Implementation shall be allocated to provide reimbursement to local government units that consolidate pursuant to any law, including but not limited to P.L.2007, c.63 (C.40A:65-1 et seq.) and P.L.2009, c.118 (C.54:1-86 et seq.), or to a municipality that is wholly annexed by another municipality pursuant to N.J.S.40A:7-1 et seq., for non-recurring costs that the Director of the Division of Local Government Services, or in the case of a school district consolidation the Commissioner of Education, determines to be necessary to implement such consolidation or annexation, subject to the approval of the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting; provided, however, that in addition to the amounts hereinabove appropriated, there are appropriated such additional amounts as are determined to be necessary for reimbursement of non-recurring costs associated with local government unit consolidations, subject to the approval of the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting; provided further that there are appropriated such additional amounts, not to exceed $15,000,000, as the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting, in consultation with the Commissioner of Community Affairs and the Director of the Division of Local Government Services, shall determine to be necessary to design and implement one or more voluntary county-based demonstration projects to achieve efficiencies and future cost savings in the provision of services at the local level.

Of the amount hereinabove appropriated for Transitional Aid to Localities, an amount may be allocated by the Director of the Division of Local Government Services to provide short-term financial assistance to a local government unit that is determined by the director to be experiencing financial distress caused by the destruction or loss of a major local business ratable. For purposes of this paragraph, a “major local business ratable” means one or more related parcels of property owned by a single business entity, classified as commercial or industrial, which comprised the largest assessed valuation of any one or more line items of taxable property in a municipality, or generated an annual PILOT payment in excess of 10% of the total municipal levy, or is otherwise determined by the director to be of such significance to a municipality that its destruction or loss has resulted in financial distress; provided, however, that notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, the Director of the Division of Local Government Services may direct that part of any such allocation be paid to an affected school district or county, or to both, in the same manner as if the award of Transitional Aid were raised as revenue from the municipal tax levy; and provided further that a local government unit determined to be experiencing financial distress because of the loss or destruction of a major local business ratable shall not be required to be subject to any additional conditions, requirements, orders, or other operational efficiency or oversight measures authorized pursuant to P.L.2011, c.144 (C.52:27D-118.42a), except as determined to be appropriate by the Director of the Division of Local Government Services.

Of the amount hereinabove appropriated for Transitional Aid to Localities, amounts may be allocated by the Director of the Division of Local Government Services to reimburse any State agency or department for services provided to a participating municipal government unit pursuant to a memorandum of understanding between that State agency or department, the participating municipal government unit, and the Division of Local Government Services, subject to the approval of the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting.

The amount hereinabove appropriated for Transitional Aid to Localities is subject to the following condition: notwithstanding the provisions of R.S.43:21-14, or any other law or regulation to the contrary, the Commissioner of Labor and Workforce Development, in consultation with the Commissioner of Community Affairs, is authorized to enter into individualized payment plan agreements with municipalities that receive Transitional Aid for the reimbursement of unemployment benefits paid to former employees of such municipal government units, at reasonable interest rates based on current market conditions, and on such other terms and conditions as may be determined to be appropriate by the Commissioner of Labor and Workforce Development. Any municipality that enters into an individualized payment plan agreement pursuant to this section shall be required to expend all funds budgeted for this activity remaining as of the last day of its budget year for the repayment of outstanding obligations under the plan.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, the amount hereinabove appropriated for Transitional Aid to Localities shall be allocated to provide short-term financial assistance where needed to help a municipality that is in serious fiscal distress meet immediate budgetary needs and regain financial stability. A municipality shall be deemed to be eligible for transitional aid if it is identified by the Director of the Division of Local Government Services as experiencing serious fiscal distress where the director determines that, despite local officials having implemented substantive cost reduction strategies, there continue to exist conditions of serious fiscal distress, which may include but shall not be limited to: substantial structural or accumulated deficits; ongoing reliance on non-recurring revenues; limited ability to raise supplemental non-property tax revenues; extraordinary demands for public safety appropriations; and other factors indicating a constrained ability to raise sufficient revenues to meet budgetary requirements that substantially jeopardizes the fiscal integrity of the municipality. Municipalities seeking transitional aid shall file an application on a form prescribed by the director, which application, among other things, shall set forth the minimum criteria that must be met in order for an application to be considered by the director for a determination of eligibility. The director shall determine whether a municipality which files an application meeting such minimum criteria is in serious fiscal distress, and, if so, what amount of transitional aid should be provided to address the municipality’s serious fiscal distress. The transitional aid shall be provided to the municipality subject to the provisions of subsection a. of section 1 of P.L.2011, c.144 (C.52:27D-118.42a); provided, however, that an amount of Transitional Aid to Localities as determined by the Director of the Division of Local Government Services for a municipality may be deemed to constitute Consolidated Municipal Property Tax Relief Aid in an amount not in excess of the amount of Transitional Aid to Localities such municipality received in the previous fiscal year and shall not reduce the amount of Consolidated Municipal Property Tax Relief Aid such municipality shall receive for the current fiscal year. Provided, however, if the Director of the Division of Local Government Services deems an amount of Transitional Aid to Localities for a municipality as constituting Consolidated Municipal Property Tax Relief Aid pursuant to this provision, that municipality is not relieved from compliance with the requirements for transitional aid.

Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection d. of section 29 of P.L.1999, c.152 (C.13:8C-29) or subsection d. of section 30 of P.L.1999, c.152 (C.13:8C-30), or any law or regulation to the contrary, all payments to municipalities in lieu of taxes for lands acquired by the State and non-profit organizations for recreation and conservation purposes shall be retained by the municipality and not apportioned in the same manner as the general tax rate of the municipality.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, payments to municipalities in lieu of taxes for lands acquired by the State and non-profit organizations for recreation and conservation purposes shall be provided only to municipalities whose payments received in fiscal year 2010 exceeded $5,000, subject to the approval of the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, any qualifying municipality, as defined in section 1 of P.L.1978, c.14 (C.52:27D-178) for the previous fiscal year, shall continue to be a qualifying municipality thereunder during the current fiscal year.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, whenever funds appropriated as State Aid and payable to any municipality, which municipality requests and receives the approval of the Local Finance Board, such funds may be pledged as a guarantee for payment of principal and interest on any bond anticipation notes issued pursuant to section 11 of P.L.2003, c.15 (C.40A:2-8.1) and any tax anticipation notes issued pursuant to N.J.S.40A:4-64 by such municipality. Such funds, if so pledged, shall be made available by the State Treasurer upon receipt of a written notification by the Director of the Division of Local Government Services that the municipality does not have sufficient funds available for prompt payment of principal and interest on such notes, and shall be paid by the State Treasurer directly to the holders of such notes at such time and in such amounts as specified by the director, notwithstanding that payment of such funds does not coincide with any date for payment otherwise fixed by law.

The State Treasurer, in consultation with the Commissioner of Community Affairs, is empowered to direct the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting to transfer appropriations from any State department to any other State department as may be necessary to provide a loan for a term not to exceed 180 days to a local government unit faced with a fiscal crisis, including but not limited to a potential default on tax anticipation notes and on such other terms and conditions as may be required by the commissioner.

Notwithstanding the provisions of N.J.S.40A:4-39 or any other law or regulation to the contrary, a county that assumes responsibility for the provision of local police services in one or more municipalities utilizing a new or expanded county police force may display the anticipated revenues and appropriations associated with such county police force in its annual budget by annexing to that budget a statement describing the sources and amounts of anticipated dedicated revenues and appropriating those dedicated amounts for the purposes of the county police force.

Of the amount hereinabove appropriated for Shared Services and School District Consolidation Study Implementation (PTRF), there is allocated $1,850,000 for consolidation of fire districts in Hamilton Township (Mercer).

The amount appropriated for Municipal Fish Kill Clean-up Support shall be allocated as follows: $9,000 to the Borough of Monmouth Beach, $24,000 to the Borough of Oceanport, and $39,000 to the City of Long Branch.

The amounts appropriated for Village of Ridgefield Park - Road Improvement Program and Village of Ridgefield Park - Combined Sewer Long Term Control Plan shall be restricted to projects in the vicinity of the New Jersey Turnpike and Route 46 interchange.

Items purchased for the use of nonpublic school students with Nonpublic Technology Initiative funds in previous budget cycles shall remain the property of the local education agency; provided, however, that they shall remain on permanent loan for the use of nonpublic school students for the balance of the technologies’ useful life.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, Nonpublic Technology Initiative Aid shall be paid to school districts and allocated for nonpublic school pupils at the rate of $42 per pupil in a manner that is consistent with the provisions of the federal and State constitutions.

The unexpended balance at the end of the preceding fiscal year in the Education Rescue Grant Program is appropriated for the same purpose, subject to the approval of the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting.

If the project cost exceeds $500,000, the commissioner may direct all or a portion of the proceeds to the New Jersey Schools Development Authority (SDA) for use in projects identified in that district’s LRFP. In the case of capital maintenance projects, the SDA may forward the specified aid amount directly to the district for completion of the projects. If the commissioner is not satisfied that there is a sufficient showing of financial need for a capital maintenance project or for a school facilities project or if the commissioner is not satisfied that the proposed project is consistent with the district’s LRFP, the proceeds shall be returned to the SDA for use by the SDA for school facilities projects in that SDA district which are consistent with the SDA district’s LRFP. For the purposes of this provision, “surplus property” means property which is not being replaced by other property under a grant agreement with the SDA.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, “non-SDA” districts that received their State support for approved project costs through the New Jersey Schools Development Authority shall be assessed an amount equal to the 2013-2014 assessment. District allocations shall be withheld from 2021-2022 formula aid payments and the assessment cannot exceed the total of those payments.

The amount hereinabove appropriated for Supplemental Wraparound Program shall be provided as State aid to SDA districts to reduce family cost-sharing for before-school, after-school, and summer wraparound child care.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, amounts hereinabove appropriated for Preschool Education Aid shall be allocated as follows: 1) in the case of a district that received Early Launch to Learning Initiative aid in the 2007-2008 school year, an amount equal to the district’s 2007-2008 allocation of Early Launch to Learning Initiative aid; 2) in the case of a school district that received a 2008-2009 allocation of Preschool Education Aid based on its 2007-2008 Early Childhood Program Aid allocation, an aid amount equal to the district’s 2020-2021 per pupil allocation of Preschool Education Aid inflated by the CPI and multiplied by the district’s projected preschool enrollment, except in the case of a school district that participated in the federal Preschool Expansion Grant in 2018-2019, districts that received an allocation of Preschool Education Expansion Aid in 2017-2018 or 2018-2019, and districts that received an allocation of Preschool Education Aid in 2019-2020 or 2020-2021 through the competitive process administered by the Commissioner of Education; 3) in the case of any other district with an allocation of Preschool Education Aid in the 2020-2021 school year calculated using the provisions of section 12 of P.L.2007, c.260 (C.18A:7F-54), districts that participated in the federal Preschool Expansion Grant in 2018-2019, districts that received an allocation of Preschool Education Expansion Aid in 2017-2018 or 2018-2019, or districts that received an allocation of Preschool Education Aid in 2019-2020 or 2020-2021 through the competitive process administered by the Commissioner of Education, an amount calculated in accordance with those provisions based upon 2021-2022 projected FTE enrollments, and multiplied by the per pupil allocations as set forth in the February 2021 State Aid notice issued by the Commissioner of Education. Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, of the amounts hereinabove appropriated for Preschool Education Aid, an amount not to exceed $26,000,000 shall be allocated by the commissioner to districts in total additional preschool funding for the purpose of expanding free access to full-day preschool for resident three- and four-year old children in accordance with the preschool quality standards issued by the commissioner and based on a district’s demonstration of its readiness to operate a preschool program consistent with those standards.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, a district's 2021-2022 allocation of the amounts hereinabove appropriated for School Choice Aid shall be 90% of the amount calculated pursuant to the provisions of P.L.2007, c.260; provided, however, in the event that School Choice enrollment reflected on the October 2020 Application for State School Aid is less than projected School Choice enrollment reflected on the 2020-2021 State Aid notice, such district's 2021-2022 School Choice Aid allocation shall be adjusted to reflect actual prebudget year enrollment as of October 2020, as set forth in the February 2021 State Aid notice issued by the Commissioner of Education. A district's 2021-2022 School Choice enrollment shall not exceed the district’s maximum funded choice student enrollment as determined by the Commissioner of Education.

A charter school shall also receive an allocation to provide that in the 2021-2022 school year, the charter school receives no less total support from the State and resident school district than in the 2020-2021 school year and to ensure that such total payments provide a 2021-2022 per pupil amount that is not less than the 2020-2021 per pupil amount based on average daily enrollment. This allocation shall be adjusted based on the October 15, 2021 actual pupil count. In addition to the amounts hereinabove appropriated for Charter School Aid, such additional amounts as may be required, based on actual charter school enrollment counts submitted through the Charter School Enrollment System, for the support of Charter School Aid are appropriated, subject to the approval of the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, from the amount hereinabove appropriated for School Security Compliance Funding, the Commissioner of Education shall award grants to charter schools, renaissance school projects and school districts with school district buildings serving preschool students and no students in grades kindergarten through 12 to equip school buildings with a panic alarm or alternative emergency mechanism to comply with the provisions of P.L.2019, c.33 (C.18A:41-10 et seq.), to reimburse a school district, charter school or renaissance school project for costs previously incurred for equipping a school building after January 1, 2016, or, if the school district, charter school or renaissance school project is compliant with the provisions of P.L.2019, c.33, to complete other eligible school security projects. Each grant award shall be calculated using the charter school’s average daily enrollment on October 15, 2019, the renaissance school project’s enrollment on October 15, 2019, or the number of students in standalone preschool facilities in the school district as reported on the October 15, 2019 Application for State School Aid, the facilities efficiency standards established pursuant to section 4 of P.L.2000, c.72 (C.18A:7G-4), and an allotment per square foot, as determined by the Commissioner of Education.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, from the amount hereinabove appropriated for Preschool Facilities Lead Remediation, the Commissioner of Education shall award grants to school districts for water infrastructure improvement projects in schools serving solely preschool students, provided that eligibility for funding such projects shall be based on the eligibility requirements for water infrastructure improvement grants in schools serving grades K-12, pursuant to P.L.2018, c.119 and its implementing regulations.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, the amount hereinabove appropriated for Stabilization Aid is subject to the following condition: no funds shall be allocated by the Commissioner of Education unless a district experiences a reduction in State aid or otherwise confronts a structural budgetary imbalance and the district provides, in a format acceptable to the Commissioner, a written plan explaining how the district intends to fund operations in future years in which the district does not receive similar supplemental State aid. Of the amount hereinabove appropriated for Stabilization Aid, such amount as is necessary shall be allocated to provide State aid to military-impacted districts. A school district may receive State aid to military-impacted districts if, in the prebudget year, the school district received a Basic Support Payment of federal Impact Aid under section 7003 of the federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. s.7703) and the district provides free public education to federally connected children whose parents are on active duty in the uniformed services. The amount of aid provided to a military-impacted district pursuant to this section shall be calculated as (PPLTL - PPIA) x REFCMS. For purposes of this calculation, PPLTL is the per pupil general fund tax levy, which is derived by dividing the prebudget year general fund tax levy by resident enrollment, without the inclusion of federally connected children whose parents are on active duty in the uniformed services and who otherwise are included in the calculation of resident enrollment as defined pursuant to section 3 of P.L.2007, c.260 (C.18A:7F-45); PPIA is the per pupil federal impact aid amount, which is the result of dividing the amount of a school district's Basic Support Payment received in the prebudget year by the number of federally connected children whose parents are on active duty in the uniformed services; and REFCMS is the resident enrollment of federally connected children whose parents are on active duty in the uniformed services. A school district shall not receive State aid to military-impacted districts pursuant to this section if the difference between PPTL and PPIA is negative. The remaining amount hereinabove appropriated for Stabilization Aid is subject to the following condition: no funds shall be allocated by the Commissioner of Education unless a district experiences a reduction in State aid or otherwise confronts a structural budgetary imbalance and the district provides, in a format acceptable to the Commissioner, a written plan explaining how the district intends to fund operations in future years in which the district does not receive similar supplemental State aid.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, the amount hereinabove appropriated for Regional School Consolidation Support shall be used to provide grants to school districts for studies or implementation costs associated with school district consolidations pursuant to an application process administered by the Commissioner of Education, subject to the approval of the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting.

The commissioner shall review the board’s request and determine whether to grant the request after an assessment of whether the district needs to spend the funds prior to September and after considering the availability of district surplus. The commissioner shall transfer the payment for the portion of the tuition payable for which need has been demonstrated.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, when calculating a district’s allocation of the amount hereinabove appropriated for School Construction Debt Service Aid, the provisions of subsection d. of section 9 of P.L.2000, c.72 (C.18A:7G-9) shall also be applicable for a school facilities project approved by the Commissioner of Education and by the voters in a referendum after the effective date of P.L.2000, c.72 (C.18A:7G-1 et al.) and prior to the effective date of P.L.2008, c.39 (C.18A:7G-14.1 et al.).
