§ 5:10A-59 — Meadowlands adjustment payment.

59. a. On or before February 1 of the year of enactment of P.L.2015, c.19 (C.5:10A-1 et al.) and on or before February 1 of each year thereafter, the commission shall certify to the chief financial officer of each constituent municipality an amount, identified as the meadowlands adjustment payment. The meadowlands adjustment payment for each constituent municipality shall be determined by adding all the payments payable to that municipality from the intermunicipal account for school district service payments, guarantee payments, and apportionment payments, if any, and by subtracting therefrom the obligations of that municipality to the intermunicipal account, as calculated pursuant to sections 53 and 58 of P.L.2015, c.19 (C.5:10A-53 and 5:10A-58). The amount so derived shall be referred to as the meadowlands pre-adjustment payment. For calendar year 2015, the meadowlands adjustment payment shall be the average of the meadowlands pre-adjustment payments for calendar years 2012, 2013, and 2014. For calendar year 2016 and subsequent years, the meadowlands adjustment payment shall be the average of the meadowlands pre-adjustment payments for the prior three calendar years. b. If the meadowlands adjustment payment for any constituent municipality in any adjustment year is payable to the constituent municipality, the amount of this payment shall be identified in the municipal budget of that municipality for that year as "meadowlands adjustment" within the category "miscellaneous revenues anticipated," and shall be due and payable in three equal installments by the intermunicipal account on May 15, August 15, and November 15 of that year. L.2015, c.19, s.59; amended 2015, c.72, s.22.
