New Jersey § 52:27d-201

§ 52:27d-201.

a. Within 90 days of the effective date of this act, and thereafter as required by

subsection c. of this section, the owner of a life hazard use or high-rise structure

shall file with the commissioner, upon forms provided by the commissioner, an application

for a certificate of registration. Each application shall include information prescribed by the commissioner to enforce

the provisions of this act. Upon receipt of the application, the commissioner shall forthwith issue to the owner

of the life hazard use or high-rise structure a certificate of registration, which

certificate of registration shall be posted by the owner of the structure in a conspicuous

location therein. The certificate of registration shall be in such form as may be prescribed by the

commissioner. b. Within 90 days of the effective date of this act, and thereafter as required by

subsection c. of this section, the owner of each life hazard use or high-rise structure

shall appoint an agent for the purpose of receiving service of process and orders

or notices issued by the commissioner pursuant to this act. Each agent shall be either a resident of this State or a corporation licensed to

do business in this State. c. If the ownership of a life hazard use or high-rise structure is transferred, whether

by sale, assignment, gift, intestate succession, testate devolution, reorganization,

receivership, foreclosure or execution process, the new owner shall file with the

commissioner, within 30 days of the transfer, an application for a certificate of

registration pursuant to subsection a. of this section and appoint an agent for the

service of process pursuant to subsection b. of this section. d. If an owner of a life hazard use or high-rise structure has not fulfilled the requirements

of this section, the commissioner shall notify the owner in writing that he is in

violation of this section and shall order that registration be accomplished within

30 days. The notice and order shall include an accurate restatement of the subsection of

this section with which the owner has not complied. If the owner has not complied with the order of the commissioner within 30 days

of the date on which it was mailed, the commissioner shall order him to pay not less

than $200.00 and not more than $1,000.00 for each registration. The commissioner may issue a certificate to the clerk of the Superior Court that

the owner is indebted for the payment of the penalty and the clerk shall immediately

enter upon his record of docketed judgments the name of the owner and of the department,

a designation of the statute under which the penalty is imposed, the amount of the

penalty certified and the date the certification was made. The making of the entry shall have the same effect as the entry of the docketed

judgment in the office of the clerk but without prejudice to the owner's right of

appeal. e. On or before July 1, next following the effective date of this act, and annually

thereafter, the owner of each life hazard use and of each high-rise structure in the

State shall pay to the department an annual fee in an amount which the commissioner

shall establish by regulation and which shall allow the department to recover the

cost to it and to local enforcing agencies of administering this act. Annual fees received from owners of life hazard uses and high-rise structure inspected

by a local enforcing agency shall be divided between the local enforcing agency and

the department in accordance with a percentage formula which the commissioner shall

establish by regulation and which shall allow the department to recover the cost to

it of administering this act in municipalities having local enforcement. With the approval of the department, local enforcement agencies may collect the annual

fee and remit to the department only that percentage of the annual fee which the commissioner

shall have established by regulation as constituting the department's share of the

fee. f. All moneys which the commissioner shall receive in the form of fees and for penalties

for failure to register shall be appropriated to the department to pay the cost of

enforcing this act. g. The owner of a life hazard use or high-rise structure shall pay the annual fee

within 30 days of the day on which it is demanded by the department or the local enforcing

agency. If he fails to do so, the department may issue a certificate to the clerk of the

Superior Court that the owner is indebted to the department for the payment of the

annual fee and the clerk shall immediately enter upon his record of docketed judgments

and 1 the name of the owner and of the department, a designation of the statute under which

the fee is assessed, the amount of the fee certified and the date the certification

was made. The making of the entry shall have the same effect as the entry of a docketed judgment

in the office of the clerk, but without prejudice to the owner's right of appeal. 1

So in enrolled bill.
