§ 13:18A-26 — Surcharge on fees; pinelands fund; disposition

The commission is hereby authorized to adopt rules and regulations which impose a surcharge of up to $1.00 upon any fee currently levied and collected, pursuant to law, for the use of State-owned lands within the pinelands area. All of the sums collected as a result of any such surcharge shall be deposited in a fund to be known as the "Pinelands Fund," which fund shall be kept separate from all other State receipts. There shall be appropriated annually from such fund, in accordance with a formula adopted by the commission, such revenue as may be available to defray the costs of payments in lieu-of-taxes, as herein provided, to municipalities located in whole or in part in the pinelands area.
