5:10A-60 Hackensack Meadowlands Tax Sharing Stabilization Fund.
60. There is established the Hackensack Meadowlands Tax Sharing Stabilization Fund in the commission. The fund shall be comprised of revenues made available from interest payments on sanitary landfill closure accounts maintained by the commission or such other revenues which are made available for these purposes. Moneys in the fund shall be used to fully compensate municipalities from excessive fluctuations in payments from the intermunicipal account in 2014 and subsequent years. In the event that there are insufficient monies in the fund to fully compensate all municipalities in any year, the amount paid to each municipality shall constitute the same proportion of the total amount of money available to all municipalities as each municipality would receive if the amount of money in the fund were sufficient to fully compensate all municipalities in that year.
For the purposes of this section, any decrease in a payment required to be made from the intermunicipal account to a constituent municipality which is in excess of five percent below the previous year's payment shall be considered an "excessive fluctuation."
