New Jersey § app:a-3

§ app:a-3.

So long as any public works bonds shall be outstanding and unpaid and any municipality

shall be required by section one hereof 1 to provide a separate and specific appropriation for the payment of such public works

bonds and interest thereon, no budget or tax ordinance shall be finally adopted by

the governing body of such municipality unless and until a copy of such proposed budget

or proposed tax ordinance shall have been submitted to the state auditor and the state

auditor shall have made a certificate upon such copy that such proposed budget or

proposed tax ordinance complies with all the requirements of this act. The state auditor is hereby authorized and directed to make such investigation as

he may deem advisable before making any such certificate and, in the event such appropriation

shall not have been included, to insert such appropriation in such proposed budget

or proposed tax ordinance and thereupon make such certificate and the tax to meet

such separate and specific appropriation shall thereafter be levied and collected

according to law and shall be applied to the payment of such public works bonds and

interest thereon, and to no other purpose. The state auditor's department shall be entitled to reimbursement by such municipality

for reasonable expenses incurred by reason of this act and adequate provision shall

be made in such budget or tax ordinance therefor. 1
