§ 52:27d-179.
There shall be annually appropriated a sum which shall be apportioned among municipalities
which qualify for State aid under the provisions of this act for the purpose of enabling
such municipalities to maintain and upgrade municipal services and to offset local
property taxes. In addition to any amount so apportioned there shall be added to the amount to be
paid and distributed to any qualifying municipality which is entitled to State aid
pursuant to this act such amount as may be necessary so that the amount to which such
municipality is entitled to receive in any year shall not be less than the amount
which such municipality received in the preceding year pursuant to this act or, in
the first year of this act's operations. P.L.1976, c. 12, provided, however, that from the moneys appropriated to fund this
act, payments shall first be apportioned so that each municipality which received
payments in 1977 pursuant to P.L.1977, c. 38, receives the same amount which it received
in 1977 pursuant to P.L.1977, c. 38, even if after such payments are made insufficient
funds remain for increased distributions to municipalities which already are qualifying
municipalities or for new distributions to municipalities which become qualifying
municipalities; and further provided that each municipality in the first year it
qualifies for said State aid payments shall receive payments pursuant to this act
before any municipalities which had received such State aid in the preceding year
pursuant to this act or P.L.1977, c. 38 shall receive any payments in excess of the
payments received in the preceding year. Any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, a municipality which has received
State aid pursuant to P.L.1971, c. 64 as supplemented but which is no longer a qualifying
municipality pursuant to this act shall receive, in any year in which it has qualified
bonds outstanding pursuant to P.L.1976, c. 38 ( C.40A:3-1 et seq. ) and which were issued prior to the effective date of this act, the amount which
it received in 1977 pursuant to P.L.1977, c. 38.
