The amount hereinabove appropriated for Consolidated Municipal Property Tax Relief Aid shall be distributed on the following schedule: on or before August 1, 45% of the total amount due; September 1, 30% of the total amount due; October 1, 15% of the total amount due; November 1, 5% of the total amount due; December 1 for municipalities operating under a calendar fiscal year, 5% of the total amount due; and June 1 for municipalities operating under the State fiscal year, 5% of the total amount due; provided, however, that notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, the Director of Local Government Services, in consultation with the Commissioner of Community Affairs and the State Treasurer, may direct the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting to provide such payments on an accelerated schedule if necessary to ensure fiscal stability for a municipality.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, from the amounts received from the appropriation to the Consolidated Municipal Property Tax Relief Aid program and received from amounts transferred from Consolidated Municipal Property Tax Relief Aid to the Energy Tax Receipts Property Tax Relief Aid account, each municipality shall be required to distribute to each fire district within its boundaries the amount received by the fire district from the Supplementary Aid for Fire Services program pursuant to the provisions of the fiscal year 1995 annual appropriations act, P.L.1994, c.67, less an amount proportional to reductions in the combined total amount received by the municipality from Consolidated Municipal Property Tax Relief Aid and from the Energy Tax Receipts Property Tax Relief Fund/Aid account since fiscal year 2008.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, the amount hereinabove appropriated for Consolidated Municipal Property Tax Relief Aid shall be distributed in the same amounts, and to the same municipalities that received funding pursuant to the previous fiscal year’s annual appropriations act; provided further, however, that from the amount hereinabove appropriated there are transferred to the Energy Tax Receipts Property Tax Relief Aid account such amounts as were determined for the 12-month accounting period ending June 30, 2021 and prior fiscal years pursuant to subsection e. of section 2 of P.L.1997, c.167 (C.52:27D-439), as amended by P.L.1999, c.168; the amount of Consolidated Municipal Property Tax Relief Aid received by any other municipality shall be increased by such amounts of Transitional Aid to Localities deemed to constitute Consolidated Municipal Property Tax Relief Aid by the Director of the Division of Local Government Services in the previous fiscal year.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, the Director of the Division of Local Government Services shall take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that proportional amounts of the Consolidated Municipal Property Tax Relief Aid and the amounts transferred from Consolidated Municipal Property Tax Relief Aid to the Energy Tax Receipts Property Tax Relief Aid account appropriated to offset losses from business personal property tax that would have otherwise been used for the support of public schools will be used to reduce the school property tax levy for those affected school districts with the remaining State Aid used as municipal property tax relief. The chief financial officer of the municipality shall pay to the school districts such amounts as may be due by December 31.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, the release of the total annual amount due for the current fiscal year from Consolidated Municipal Property Tax Relief Aid to municipalities is subject to the following condition: the municipality shall submit to the Director of the Division of Local Government Services a report describing the municipality’s compliance with the “Best Practices Inventory” established by the Director of the Division of Local Government Services and shall receive at least a minimum score on such inventory as determined by the Director of the Division of Local Government Services; provided, however, that the director may take into account the particular circumstances of a municipality. In preparing the “Best Practices Inventory,” the director shall identify best municipal practices in the areas of general administration, fiscal management, and operational activities, as well as the particular circumstances of a municipality, in determining the minimum score acceptable for the release of the total annual amount due for the current fiscal year.

The Director of the Division of Local Government Services may permit any municipality that received “Regional Efficiency Aid Program” funds pursuant to the annual appropriations act for fiscal year 2010, P.L.2009, c.68, to use a portion of its Consolidated Municipal Property Tax Relief Aid or Energy Tax Receipts Property Tax Relief Aid, or both Consolidated Municipal Property Tax Relief Aid and Energy Tax Receipts Property Tax Relief Aid, to provide “Regional Efficiency Aid Program” benefits pursuant to P.L.1999, c.61 (C.54:4-8.76 et seq.).

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, the amount hereinabove appropriated for Trenton Capital City Aid is subject to the following condition: The City of Trenton shall enter into an agreement with the Department of Community Affairs setting forth the terms and conditions for receipt of such aid, which shall include financial and operational oversight by the Director of the Division of Local Government Services in the Department of Community Affairs.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, the amount hereinabove appropriated for Consolidation Implementation shall be allocated to provide reimbursement to local government units that consolidate pursuant to any law, including but not limited to P.L.2007, c.63 (C.40A:65-1 et seq.) and P.L.2009, c.118 (C.54:1-86 et seq.), or to a municipality that is wholly annexed by another municipality pursuant to N.J.S.40A:7-1 et seq., for non-recurring costs that the Director of the Division of Local Government Services, or in the case of a school district consolidation the Commissioner of Education, determines to be necessary to implement such consolidation or annexation, subject to the approval of the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting; provided, however, that in addition to the amounts hereinabove appropriated, there are appropriated such additional amounts as are determined to be necessary for reimbursement of non-recurring costs associated with local government unit consolidations, subject to the approval of the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting; provided further that there are appropriated such additional amounts, not to exceed $15,000,000, as the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting, in consultation with the Commissioner of Community Affairs and the Director of the Division of Local Government Services, shall determine to be necessary to design and implement one or more voluntary county-based demonstration projects to achieve efficiencies and future cost savings in the provision of services at the local level.

Of the amount hereinabove appropriated for Transitional Aid to Localities, an amount may be allocated by the Director of the Division of Local Government Services to provide short-term financial assistance to a local government unit that is determined by the director to be experiencing financial distress caused by the destruction or loss of a major local business ratable. For purposes of this paragraph, a “major local business ratable” means one or more related parcels of property owned by a single business entity, classified as commercial or industrial, which comprised the largest assessed valuation of any one or more line items of taxable property in a municipality, or generated an annual PILOT payment in excess of 10% of the total municipal levy, or is otherwise determined by the director to be of such significance to a municipality that its destruction or loss has resulted in financial distress; provided, however, that notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, the Director of the Division of Local Government Services may direct that part of any such allocation be paid to an affected school district or county, or to both, in the same manner as if the award of Transitional Aid were raised as revenue from the municipal tax levy; and provided further that a local government unit determined to be experiencing financial distress because of the loss or destruction of a major local business ratable shall not be required to be subject to any additional conditions, requirements, orders, or other operational efficiency or oversight measures authorized pursuant to P.L.2011, c.144 (C.52:27D-118.42a), except as determined to be appropriate by the Director of the Division of Local Government Services.

Of the amount hereinabove appropriated for Transitional Aid to Localities, amounts may be allocated by the Director of the Division of Local Government Services to reimburse any State agency or department for services provided to a participating municipal government unit pursuant to a memorandum of understanding between that State agency or department, the participating municipal government unit, and the Division of Local Government Services, subject to the approval of the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting.

The amount hereinabove appropriated for Transitional Aid to Localities is subject to the following condition: notwithstanding the provisions of R.S.43:21-14, or any other law or regulation to the contrary, the Commissioner of Labor and Workforce Development, in consultation with the Commissioner of Community Affairs, is authorized to enter into individualized payment plan agreements with municipalities that receive Transitional Aid for the reimbursement of unemployment benefits paid to former employees of such municipal government units, at reasonable interest rates based on current market conditions, and on such other terms and conditions as may be determined to be appropriate by the Commissioner of Labor and Workforce Development. Any municipality that enters into an individualized payment plan agreement pursuant to this section shall be required to expend all funds budgeted for this activity remaining as of the last day of its budget year for the repayment of outstanding obligations under the plan.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, the amount hereinabove appropriated for Transitional Aid to Localities shall be allocated to provide short-term financial assistance where needed to help a municipality that is in serious fiscal distress meet immediate budgetary needs and regain financial stability. A municipality shall be deemed to be eligible for transitional aid if it is identified by the Director of the Division of Local Government Services as experiencing serious fiscal distress where the director determines that, despite local officials having implemented substantive cost reduction strategies, there continue to exist conditions of serious fiscal distress, which may include but shall not be limited to: substantial structural or accumulated deficits; ongoing reliance on non-recurring revenues; limited ability to raise supplemental non-property tax revenues; extraordinary demands for public safety appropriations; and other factors indicating a constrained ability to raise sufficient revenues to meet budgetary requirements that substantially jeopardizes the fiscal integrity of the municipality. Municipalities seeking transitional aid shall file an application on a form prescribed by the director, which application, among other things, shall set forth the minimum criteria that must be met in order for an application to be considered by the director for a determination of eligibility. The director shall determine whether a municipality which files an application meeting such minimum criteria is in serious fiscal distress, and, if so, what amount of transitional aid should be provided to address the municipality’s serious fiscal distress. The transitional aid shall be provided to the municipality subject to the provisions of subsection a. of section 1 of P.L.2011, c.144 (C.52:27D-118.42a); provided, however, that an amount of Transitional Aid to Localities as determined by the Director of the Division of Local Government Services for a municipality may be deemed to constitute Consolidated Municipal Property Tax Relief Aid in an amount not in excess of the amount of Transitional Aid to Localities such municipality received in the previous fiscal year and shall not reduce the amount of Consolidated Municipal Property Tax Relief Aid such municipality shall receive for the current fiscal year. Provided, however, if the Director of the Division of Local Government Services deems an amount of Transitional Aid to Localities for a municipality as constituting Consolidated Municipal Property Tax Relief Aid pursuant to this provision, that municipality is not relieved from compliance with the requirements for transitional aid.

Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection d. of section 29 of P.L.1999, c.152 (C.13:8C-29) or subsection d. of section 30 of P.L.1999, c.152 (C.13:8C-30), or any law or regulation to the contrary, all payments to municipalities in lieu of taxes for lands acquired by the State and non-profit organizations for recreation and conservation purposes shall be retained by the municipality and not apportioned in the same manner as the general tax rate of the municipality.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, payments to municipalities in lieu of taxes for lands acquired by the State and non-profit organizations for recreation and conservation purposes shall be provided only to municipalities whose payments received in fiscal year 2010 exceeded $5,000, subject to the approval of the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, any qualifying municipality, as defined in section 1 of P.L.1978, c.14 (C.52:27D-178) for the previous fiscal year, shall continue to be a qualifying municipality thereunder during the current fiscal year.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, whenever funds appropriated as State Aid and payable to any municipality, which municipality requests and receives the approval of the Local Finance Board, such funds may be pledged as a guarantee for payment of principal and interest on any bond anticipation notes issued pursuant to section 11 of P.L.2003, c.15 (C.40A:2-8.1) and any tax anticipation notes issued pursuant to N.J.S.40A:4-64 by such municipality. Such funds, if so pledged, shall be made available by the State Treasurer upon receipt of a written notification by the Director of the Division of Local Government Services that the municipality does not have sufficient funds available for prompt payment of principal and interest on such notes, and shall be paid by the State Treasurer directly to the holders of such notes at such time and in such amounts as specified by the director, notwithstanding that payment of such funds does not coincide with any date for payment otherwise fixed by law.

The State Treasurer, in consultation with the Commissioner of Community Affairs, is empowered to direct the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting to transfer appropriations from any State department to any other State department as may be necessary to provide a loan for a term not to exceed 180 days to a local government unit faced with a fiscal crisis, including but not limited to a potential default on tax anticipation notes and on such other terms and conditions as may be required by the commissioner.

Notwithstanding the provisions of N.J.S.40A:4-39 or any other law or regulation to the contrary, a county that assumes responsibility for the provision of local police services in one or more municipalities utilizing a new or expanded county police force may display the anticipated revenues and appropriations associated with such county police force in its annual budget by annexing to that budget a statement describing the sources and amounts of anticipated dedicated revenues and appropriating those dedicated amounts for the purposes of the county police force.

Of the amount hereinabove appropriated for Shared Services and School District Consolidation Study Implementation (PTRF), there is allocated $1,850,000 for consolidation of fire districts in Hamilton Township (Mercer).

The amount appropriated for Municipal Fish Kill Clean-up Support shall be allocated as follows: $9,000 to the Borough of Monmouth Beach, $24,000 to the Borough of Oceanport, and $39,000 to the City of Long Branch.

The amounts appropriated for Village of Ridgefield Park - Road Improvement Program and Village of Ridgefield Park - Combined Sewer Long Term Control Plan shall be restricted to projects in the vicinity of the New Jersey Turnpike and Route 46 interchange.

Items purchased for the use of nonpublic school students with Nonpublic Technology Initiative funds in previous budget cycles shall remain the property of the local education agency; provided, however, that they shall remain on permanent loan for the use of nonpublic school students for the balance of the technologies’ useful life.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, Nonpublic Technology Initiative Aid shall be paid to school districts and allocated for nonpublic school pupils at the rate of $42 per pupil in a manner that is consistent with the provisions of the federal and State constitutions.

The unexpended balance at the end of the preceding fiscal year in the Education Rescue Grant Program is appropriated for the same purpose, subject to the approval of the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting.

If the project cost exceeds $500,000, the commissioner may direct all or a portion of the proceeds to the New Jersey Schools Development Authority (SDA) for use in projects identified in that district’s LRFP. In the case of capital maintenance projects, the SDA may forward the specified aid amount directly to the district for completion of the projects. If the commissioner is not satisfied that there is a sufficient showing of financial need for a capital maintenance project or for a school facilities project or if the commissioner is not satisfied that the proposed project is consistent with the district’s LRFP, the proceeds shall be returned to the SDA for use by the SDA for school facilities projects in that SDA district which are consistent with the SDA district’s LRFP. For the purposes of this provision, “surplus property” means property which is not being replaced by other property under a grant agreement with the SDA.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, “non-SDA” districts that received their State support for approved project costs through the New Jersey Schools Development Authority shall be assessed an amount equal to the 2013-2014 assessment. District allocations shall be withheld from 2021-2022 formula aid payments and the assessment cannot exceed the total of those payments.

The amount hereinabove appropriated for Supplemental Wraparound Program shall be provided as State aid to SDA districts to reduce family cost-sharing for before-school, after-school, and summer wraparound child care.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, amounts hereinabove appropriated for Preschool Education Aid shall be allocated as follows: 1) in the case of a district that received Early Launch to Learning Initiative aid in the 2007-2008 school year, an amount equal to the district’s 2007-2008 allocation of Early Launch to Learning Initiative aid; 2) in the case of a school district that received a 2008-2009 allocation of Preschool Education Aid based on its 2007-2008 Early Childhood Program Aid allocation, an aid amount equal to the district’s 2020-2021 per pupil allocation of Preschool Education Aid inflated by the CPI and multiplied by the district’s projected preschool enrollment, except in the case of a school district that participated in the federal Preschool Expansion Grant in 2018-2019, districts that received an allocation of Preschool Education Expansion Aid in 2017-2018 or 2018-2019, and districts that received an allocation of Preschool Education Aid in 2019-2020 or 2020-2021 through the competitive process administered by the Commissioner of Education; 3) in the case of any other district with an allocation of Preschool Education Aid in the 2020-2021 school year calculated using the provisions of section 12 of P.L.2007, c.260 (C.18A:7F-54), districts that participated in the federal Preschool Expansion Grant in 2018-2019, districts that received an allocation of Preschool Education Expansion Aid in 2017-2018 or 2018-2019, or districts that received an allocation of Preschool Education Aid in 2019-2020 or 2020-2021 through the competitive process administered by the Commissioner of Education, an amount calculated in accordance with those provisions based upon 2021-2022 projected FTE enrollments, and multiplied by the per pupil allocations as set forth in the February 2021 State Aid notice issued by the Commissioner of Education. Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, of the amounts hereinabove appropriated for Preschool Education Aid, an amount not to exceed $26,000,000 shall be allocated by the commissioner to districts in total additional preschool funding for the purpose of expanding free access to full-day preschool for resident three- and four-year old children in accordance with the preschool quality standards issued by the commissioner and based on a district’s demonstration of its readiness to operate a preschool program consistent with those standards.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, a district's 2021-2022 allocation of the amounts hereinabove appropriated for School Choice Aid shall be 90% of the amount calculated pursuant to the provisions of P.L.2007, c.260; provided, however, in the event that School Choice enrollment reflected on the October 2020 Application for State School Aid is less than projected School Choice enrollment reflected on the 2020-2021 State Aid notice, such district's 2021-2022 School Choice Aid allocation shall be adjusted to reflect actual prebudget year enrollment as of October 2020, as set forth in the February 2021 State Aid notice issued by the Commissioner of Education. A district's 2021-2022 School Choice enrollment shall not exceed the district’s maximum funded choice student enrollment as determined by the Commissioner of Education.

A charter school shall also receive an allocation to provide that in the 2021-2022 school year, the charter school receives no less total support from the State and resident school district than in the 2020-2021 school year and to ensure that such total payments provide a 2021-2022 per pupil amount that is not less than the 2020-2021 per pupil amount based on average daily enrollment. This allocation shall be adjusted based on the October 15, 2021 actual pupil count. In addition to the amounts hereinabove appropriated for Charter School Aid, such additional amounts as may be required, based on actual charter school enrollment counts submitted through the Charter School Enrollment System, for the support of Charter School Aid are appropriated, subject to the approval of the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, from the amount hereinabove appropriated for School Security Compliance Funding, the Commissioner of Education shall award grants to charter schools, renaissance school projects and school districts with school district buildings serving preschool students and no students in grades kindergarten through 12 to equip school buildings with a panic alarm or alternative emergency mechanism to comply with the provisions of P.L.2019, c.33 (C.18A:41-10 et seq.), to reimburse a school district, charter school or renaissance school project for costs previously incurred for equipping a school building after January 1, 2016, or, if the school district, charter school or renaissance school project is compliant with the provisions of P.L.2019, c.33, to complete other eligible school security projects. Each grant award shall be calculated using the charter school’s average daily enrollment on October 15, 2019, the renaissance school project’s enrollment on October 15, 2019, or the number of students in standalone preschool facilities in the school district as reported on the October 15, 2019 Application for State School Aid, the facilities efficiency standards established pursuant to section 4 of P.L.2000, c.72 (C.18A:7G-4), and an allotment per square foot, as determined by the Commissioner of Education.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, from the amount hereinabove appropriated for Preschool Facilities Lead Remediation, the Commissioner of Education shall award grants to school districts for water infrastructure improvement projects in schools serving solely preschool students, provided that eligibility for funding such projects shall be based on the eligibility requirements for water infrastructure improvement grants in schools serving grades K-12, pursuant to P.L.2018, c.119 and its implementing regulations.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, the amount hereinabove appropriated for Stabilization Aid is subject to the following condition: no funds shall be allocated by the Commissioner of Education unless a district experiences a reduction in State aid or otherwise confronts a structural budgetary imbalance and the district provides, in a format acceptable to the Commissioner, a written plan explaining how the district intends to fund operations in future years in which the district does not receive similar supplemental State aid. Of the amount hereinabove appropriated for Stabilization Aid, such amount as is necessary shall be allocated to provide State aid to military-impacted districts. A school district may receive State aid to military-impacted districts if, in the prebudget year, the school district received a Basic Support Payment of federal Impact Aid under section 7003 of the federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. s.7703) and the district provides free public education to federally connected children whose parents are on active duty in the uniformed services. The amount of aid provided to a military-impacted district pursuant to this section shall be calculated as (PPLTL - PPIA) x REFCMS. For purposes of this calculation, PPLTL is the per pupil general fund tax levy, which is derived by dividing the prebudget year general fund tax levy by resident enrollment, without the inclusion of federally connected children whose parents are on active duty in the uniformed services and who otherwise are included in the calculation of resident enrollment as defined pursuant to section 3 of P.L.2007, c.260 (C.18A:7F-45); PPIA is the per pupil federal impact aid amount, which is the result of dividing the amount of a school district's Basic Support Payment received in the prebudget year by the number of federally connected children whose parents are on active duty in the uniformed services; and REFCMS is the resident enrollment of federally connected children whose parents are on active duty in the uniformed services. A school district shall not receive State aid to military-impacted districts pursuant to this section if the difference between PPTL and PPIA is negative. The remaining amount hereinabove appropriated for Stabilization Aid is subject to the following condition: no funds shall be allocated by the Commissioner of Education unless a district experiences a reduction in State aid or otherwise confronts a structural budgetary imbalance and the district provides, in a format acceptable to the Commissioner, a written plan explaining how the district intends to fund operations in future years in which the district does not receive similar supplemental State aid.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, the amount hereinabove appropriated for Regional School Consolidation Support shall be used to provide grants to school districts for studies or implementation costs associated with school district consolidations pursuant to an application process administered by the Commissioner of Education, subject to the approval of the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting.

The commissioner shall review the board’s request and determine whether to grant the request after an assessment of whether the district needs to spend the funds prior to September and after considering the availability of district surplus. The commissioner shall transfer the payment for the portion of the tuition payable for which need has been demonstrated.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, when calculating a district’s allocation of the amount hereinabove appropriated for School Construction Debt Service Aid, the provisions of subsection d. of section 9 of P.L.2000, c.72 (C.18A:7G-9) shall also be applicable for a school facilities project approved by the Commissioner of Education and by the voters in a referendum after the effective date of P.L.2000, c.72 (C.18A:7G-1 et al.) and prior to the effective date of P.L.2008, c.39 (C.18A:7G-14.1 et al.).

In the event that a hospital did not report its Medicaid managed care days on the cost report utilized in this calculation, the Department of Health (DOH) shall ascertain Medicaid managed care encounter days for Medicaid and NJ FamilyCare clients as reported by insurers to the State as per source data defined in (b) above; (d) Medicaid managed care DME cost begins with the intern and residency program costs using the 2019 submitted Medicaid cost report total residency costs, reported on Worksheet B Pt I Column 21 Line 21 plus Worksheet B Pt I Column 22 Line 22 divided by the 2019 resident full time equivalent employees (FTE), reported on Worksheet S-3 Pt 1 Column 9 line 14 to develop an average cost per resident FTE for each hospital; (e) median cost per resident FTE is calculated based on the average cost per resident FTE for each hospital; (f) the median cost per resident FTE is multiplied by the 2019 resident FTEs reported on Worksheet S-3 Pt 1 Column 9 Line 14 to develop total median residency program cost for each hospital; (g) median residency costs are multiplied by the ratio of Medicaid managed care days, reported on Worksheet S-3 Column 7 Line 2, divided by the difference of total days, reported on Worksheet S-3 Column 8 Line 14, less nursery days, reported on Worksheet S-3 Column 8 Line 13 to determine the Medicaid managed care DME cost of each hospital; (h) Medicaid managed care IME cost is defined as the Medicare IME factor multiplied by Medicaid managed care encounter payments as per source data defined in (b) above; (i) the IME factor is calculated using the Medicare IME formula as follows: 1.35 * [(1 + x) ^0.405 - 1], in which “x” is the ratio of submitted IME resident FTEs reported on Worksheet S-3 Pt 1 Column 9 Line 14 divided by the difference of total available beds, reported on Worksheet S-3 Column 2 Line 14, less nursery beds, reported on Worksheet S-3 Column 2 Line 13; (j) total 2019 Medicaid managed care GME costs shall equal total 2019 Medicaid managed care IME costs plus total 2019 Medicaid managed care DME costs; (k) the 2019 total Medicaid managed care DME costs is divided by the total 2019 Medicaid managed care GME costs; (l) the DME allocation portion is calculated by multiplying the total subsidy amount by the ratio in (k) above; (m) each hospital’s percentage of total 2019 Medicaid managed care DME costs shall be multiplied by the DME allocation to calculate its DME payment; (n) the 2019 total Medicaid managed care IME costs are divided by the total 2019 Medicaid managed care GME costs; (o) the IME allocation portion is calculated by multiplying the total subsidy amount by the ratio in (n) above; (p) each hospital’s percentage of total 2019 Medicaid managed care IME costs shall be multiplied by the IME allocation to calculate its IME payment; (q) the sum of a hospital’s DME and IME payments shall equal its subsidy payment. The total GME Subsidy amount and these payments shall not exceed $218,000,000 and shall be paid in 12 monthly payments; (r) in the event that a hospital believes that there are mathematical errors in the calculations, or data not matching the actual source documents used to calculate the subsidy as defined above, hospitals shall be permitted to file calculation appeals within 15 working days of receipt of the subsidy allocation letter. If upon review it is determined by the DOH that the error has occurred and would constitute at least a five percent change in the hospital’s allocation amount, a revised industry-wide allocation shall be issued; (s) each hospital receiving a GME allocation shall, on or before May 31, 2022, provide a report to the Commissioner of Health indicating the total number of physicians who completed their training during the preceding calendar year, and the number of those physicians who plan to practice medicine within the State of New Jersey.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, the amounts hereinabove appropriated from the Health Care Subsidy Fund for Charity Care payments are subject to the following condition: In a manner determined by the Commissioner of Health and subject to the approval of the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting, eligible hospitals shall receive (1) their charity care subsidy payments beginning in July 2021, and (2) their January 2022 through June 2022 monthly payments in advance by the end of December 2021. If an eligible hospital closes before June 30, 2022, the hospital shall reimburse to the State upon closure any subsidy payments attributed on the normal monthly payment basis to after the hospital’s date of closure.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, and except as otherwise provided and subject to such modifications as may be required by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services in order to achieve any required federal approval and full Federal Financial Participation, $24,000,000 from the amounts hereinabove appropriated from Graduate Medical Education (GME) shall be designated as Supplemental Graduate Medical Education Subsidy (GME-S), and shall be available to hospitals that meet the following eligibility criteria: (a) an eligible hospital has a Relative Medicaid Percentage (RMP) that is among the top fourteen acute care hospitals with a residency program; (b) the RMP is a ratio calculated using the 2019 Audited Acute Care Hospital (ACH) Cost Reports according to the DOH due date of August 31, 2020, as submitted by January 31, 2021 by each acute care hospital and audited by March 1, 2021; (c) the RMP numerator equals a hospital’s gross revenue from patient care for Medicaid and Medicaid HMO payers as reported on Forms E5 and E6, Line 1, Column D & Column H; (d) the RMP denominator equals a hospital’s gross revenue from patient care as reported on Form E4, Line 1, Column E; (e) for instances where hospitals that have a single Medicaid identification number submit a separate ACH Cost Report for each individually licensed hospital, the ACH Cost Report data for those hospitals shall be consolidated to the single Medicaid identification number; (f) the GME-S Subsidy shall be calculated using the same methodology as the GME Subsidy is calculated in this act, except the total amount of the GME-S Subsidy payments shall not exceed $24,000,000.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, the amount hereinabove appropriated for Graduate Medical Education (GME) is subject to the following condition: participating hospitals shall provide to residents and fellows participating in the GME program instruction concerning prevention of opioid addiction as well as diagnosis, assessment, and treatment strategies: provided, however, that such instruction may also be provided to other students and providers including, but not limited to, physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and social workers, working within the hospital or in the outpatient setting. To satisfy this condition, participating hospitals may develop an internal training program, enter into a partnership with a school or university, or provide financial support for residents and fellows to participate in independent educational programs or conferences that provide continuing medical education credits that are specifically focused in the subject area of addiction. To document compliance, participating hospitals shall complete a report to the Department of Health no later than May 31, 2022.

The amount hereinabove appropriated for Regional Coordinator Hospitals shall be distributed equally among the State’s Regional Coordinator Hospitals as designated by the Commissioner of Health pursuant to Executive Directive No. 20-007 to support their actions in coordinating the State’s health care response to COVID-19.

In order to permit flexibility in the handling of appropriations and ensure timely payments to hospitals, amounts may be transferred from the State, dedicated, and federal Quality Improvement Program-New Jersey (QIP-NJ) program accounts to the General Medical Services program classification in the Division of Medical Assistance and Health Services in the Department of Human Services, subject to the approval of the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting.

The unexpended balance at the end of the preceding fiscal year in the Support of Patients in County Psychiatric Hospitals account is appropriated for the same purpose.

Notwithstanding the provisions of R.S.30:4-78, or any law or regulation to the contrary, the State share of payments from the Support of Patients in County Psychiatric Hospitals account to the several county psychiatric facilities on behalf of the reasonable cost of maintenance of patients deemed to be county indigents shall be at the rate of 125 percent of the rate established by the Commissioner of Human Services, in consultation with the Commissioner of Health, for the period July 1 to December 31 and at the rate of 45 percent of the rate established by the Commissioner of Human Services, in consultation with the Commissioner of Health, for the period January 1 to June 30 such that the total amount to be paid by the State on behalf of county indigent patients for the calendar year shall not exceed 85 percent of the total reasonable per capita cost; and further provided that the rate at which the State will reimburse the county psychiatric hospitals shall not exceed 100 percent of the per capita rate at which each county pays to the State for the reasonable cost of maintenance and clothing of each patient residing in a State psychiatric facility, excluding the depreciation, interest, and carry-forward adjustment components of this rate, and including the depreciation, interest, and carry-forward adjustment components of each individual county psychiatric hospital’s rate established for the period January 1 to December 31 by the Commissioner of Human Services in consultation with the Commissioner of Health. The initial determination of whether a county hospital rate exceeds the per capita rate that counties pay to the State on behalf of applicable patients residing in a State psychiatric facility will be based on a comparison of estimated cost used to set reimbursement rates for the upcoming calendar year. A second comparison of the actual per diem costs of the county psychiatric hospital and State psychiatric hospitals will be completed after actual cost reports for the period are available including an inflationary adjustment for the six-month difference in fiscal reporting periods between State and county hospitals. The county hospital carry-forward adjustment to be included in rates paid by the State will exclude costs found to exceed 100 percent of the actual cost rate of the State psychiatric facilities.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, the amount hereinabove appropriated for Support of Patients in County Psychiatric Hospitals is conditioned upon the following provision: payments to county psychiatric hospitals will only be made after receipt of their claims by the Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services. County psychiatric hospitals shall submit such claims no less frequently than quarterly and within 15 days of the close of each quarter.

With the exception of all past, present, and future revenues representing federal financial participation received by the State from the United States that is based on payments to hospitals that serve a disproportionate share of low-income patients, which shall be retained by the State, the sharing of revenues received to defray the State Aid appropriation for the costs of maintaining patients in State and county psychiatric hospitals shall be based on the same percent as costs are shared between the State and counties.

The amount hereinabove appropriated for State Aid reimbursement payments for maintenance of patients in county psychiatric facilities shall be limited to inpatient services only, except that such reimbursement shall be paid to a county for outpatient and partial hospitalization services as defined by the Department of Human Services, if outpatient and/or partial hospitalization services had been previously provided at the county psychiatric facility prior to January 1, 1998. These outpatient and partial hospitalization payments shall not exceed the amount of State Aid funds paid to reimburse outpatient and partial hospitalization services provided during calendar year 1997. In addition, any revision or expansion to the number of inpatient beds or inpatient services provided at such hospitals which will have a material impact on the amount of State Aid payments made for such services, must first be approved by the Department of Human Services before such change is implemented.

The amount hereinabove appropriated for the Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services for State facility operations and the amount appropriated as State Aid for the costs of county facility operations are first charged to the federal Disproportionate Share Hospital (DSH) reimbursements anticipated as Medicaid uncompensated care. Accordingly, DSH revenues earned by the State related to services provided by county psychiatric hospitals which are supported through this State Aid appropriation shall be considered as the first source supporting the State Aid appropriation.

In addition to the amounts hereinabove appropriated for the Support of Patients in County Psychiatric Hospitals, in the event that the Assistant Commissioner of the Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services determines that, in order to provide the least restrictive setting appropriate, a patient should be admitted to a county psychiatric hospital in a county other than the one in which the patient is domiciled rather than to a State psychiatric hospital, there are hereby appropriated such additional amounts as may be required, as determined by the Assistant Commissioner to reimburse a county for the extra costs, if any, which were incurred in connection with the care of such patient in a county psychiatric hospital which exceeded the cost of care which would have been incurred had the patient been placed in a State psychiatric hospital, subject to the approval of the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting.

The amount hereinabove appropriated for Support of Patients in County Psychiatric Hospitals is conditioned upon the following provisions: County psychiatric hospitals shall: (1) enroll and continue to maintain enrollment as providers in the State’s NJ FamilyCare program; (2) complete or pursue in good faith the completion of eligibility applications for patients who could be NJ FamilyCare eligible; (3) bill the NJ FamilyCare program for all applicable services; and (4) neither admit nor discharge patients based upon NJ FamilyCare eligibility.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, the amount hereinabove appropriated for Support of Patients in County Psychiatric Hospitals is conditioned upon the county psychiatric hospitals providing and certifying all information that is required by the State, in the form specified by the Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services, to prepare a complete, accurate, and timely claim to federal authorities for Medicaid Disproportionate Share Hospital claim revenues.

Notwithstanding the provisions of R.S.30:4-78, or any other law or regulation to the contrary, the amount hereinabove appropriated for Support of Patients in County Psychiatric Hospitals is conditioned upon the following provisions: for rates effective January 1, 2013, and any prior year rate adjustments that may be required beginning January 1, 2013, the approval of the State House Commission shall not be required for the setting of such rates and the Commissioner of Human Services, in consultation with the Commissioner of Health, shall set: (1) the per capita cost rates to be paid by the State to the several counties on behalf of the reasonable cost of maintenance of State and county patients in any county psychiatric facility, including outpatient psychiatric services, (2) the per capita rates which each county shall pay to the Treasurer for the reasonable cost of maintenance and clothing of each patient residing in a State psychiatric facility having a legal settlement in such county (“County Patients”), and (3) the rates to be paid for the reasonable cost of maintenance and clothing of the convict and criminal mentally ill in any State psychiatric facility and the cost of maintenance of County Patients residing in State developmental centers or receiving other residential functional services for the developmentally disabled. Such rates will be fixed no later than October 1 of each calendar year. Notice of such rates shall be provided by the Commissioner of Human Services to the clerk of the respective boards of chosen freeholders.

In the event that the Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services is notified that a county psychiatric hospital will cease operations for the current fiscal year, or any portion thereof, in order to assure continuity of care for patients who otherwise would have been served by the county hospital, as well as to preserve patient and public safety, the Division shall have the authority to transfer funds from the Support of Patients in County Psychiatric Hospitals account to Direct State Services and Grants-In-Aid accounts in the Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services, for the fiscal year, subject to a plan approved by the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting.

Notwithstanding the provisions of R.S.30:4-78, or any law or regulation to the contrary, with respect to the amount hereinabove appropriated for Support of Patients in County Psychiatric Hospitals, commencing January 1, 2010, the State shall pay to each county an amount equal to 35 percent of the total per capita costs for the reasonable cost of maintenance and clothing of county patients in State psychiatric facilities.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law to the contrary, amounts hereinabove appropriated for Aging and Disability Resource Connections (ADRC) shall be conditioned upon the following: federal matching funds derived from ADRC or Area Agencies on Aging Medicaid costs, pursuant to an approved cost allocation plan, shall be disbursed to counties solely for the expansion of long-term care services and supports for older adults and individuals seeking home and community based services.

Of the amount hereinabove appropriated in the Pharmaceutical Assistance to the Aged and Disabled-Claims program, notwithstanding the provisions of section 3 of P.L.1975, c.194 (C.30:4D-22) or any law or regulation to the contrary, the copayment in the Pharmaceutical Assistance to the Aged and Disabled program shall be $5 for generic drugs and $7 for brand name drugs.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, the amounts hereinabove appropriated for the Pharmaceutical Assistance to the Aged and Pharmaceutical Assistance to the Aged and Disabled (PAAD) programs are conditioned upon the Department of Human Services coordinating the benefits of the PAAD programs with the prescription drug benefits of the federal “Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003,” Pub.L.108-173, as the primary payer due to the current federal prohibition against State automatic enrollment of PAAD program recipients in the federal program. The PAAD program benefit and reimbursement shall only be available to cover the beneficiary cost share to in-network pharmacies and for deductible and coverage gap costs, as determined by the Commissioner of Human Services, associated with enrollment in Medicare Part D for beneficiaries of the PAAD and Senior Gold Prescription Discount programs, and for Medicare Part D premium costs for PAAD beneficiaries.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, the amount hereinabove appropriated for the Pharmaceutical Assistance to the Aged and Disabled program is subject to the following condition: any third party, as defined in subsection m. of section 3 of P.L.1968, c.413 (C.30:4D-3), or in 42 U.S.C. s.1396a(a)(25)(A), including, but not limited to, a pharmacy benefit manager writing health, casualty, or malpractice insurance policies in the State or covering residents of this State, shall enter into an agreement with the Department of Human Services to permit and assist the matching of the Department of Human Services’ program eligibility and/or adjudication claims files against that third party’s eligibility and/or adjudicated claims files for the purpose of the coordination of benefits, utilizing, if necessary, social security numbers as common identifiers.

All funds recovered pursuant to P.L.1968, c.413 (C.30:4D-1 et seq.) and P.L.1975, c.194 (C.30:4D-20 et seq.) during the preceding fiscal year are appropriated for payments to providers in the same program classification from which the recovery originated.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, a sufficient portion of receipts generated or savings realized in the Medical Services for the Aged or Pharmaceutical Assistance to the Aged and Disabled Grants-In-Aid accounts from initiatives included in the current fiscal year appropriations act may be transferred to administration accounts to fund costs incurred in realizing these additional receipts or savings, subject to the approval of the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting.

Benefits provided under the Pharmaceutical Assistance to the Aged and Disabled (PAAD) program, P.L.1975, c.194 (C.30:4D-20 et seq.), and the Senior Gold Prescription Discount Program, P.L.2001, c.96 (C.30:4D-43 et seq.), shall be the last resource benefits, notwithstanding any provisions contained in contracts, wills, agreements, or other instruments. Any provision in a contract of insurance, will, trust agreement, or other instrument which reduces or excludes coverage or payment to an individual because of that individual’s eligibility for, or receipt of, PAAD or Senior Gold Prescription Discount Program benefits shall be void, and no PAAD and Senior Gold Prescription Discount Program payments shall be made as a result of any such provision.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, no funds appropriated in the Pharmaceutical Assistance to the Aged and Disabled program classification and the Senior Gold Prescription Discount Program account shall be expended for fee-for-service prescription drug claims with no Medicare Part D coverage except under the following conditions: (1) the maximum allowable cost for legend and non-legend drugs shall be calculated based on Actual Acquisition Cost (AAC) defined as the lowest of (i) the National Average Drug Acquisition Cost (NADAC) Retail Price Survey, developed in accordance with subsection (f) of section 1927 of the Social Security Act; (ii) Wholesale Acquisition Cost less a volume discount, in the absence of a NADAC price, that is consistent with the NJ FamilyCare Program; (iii) the federal upper limit ; or (iv) the State upper limit (SUL); and (v) cost acquisition data submitted by providers of pharmaceutical services for brand-name multi-source drugs and multi-source drugs in the absence of any alternative pricing benchmarks; (2) pharmacy reimbursement for legend and non-legend drugs shall be calculated based on (i) the lower of the AAC plus a professional fee, that is consistent with the NJ FamilyCare Program; or a provider’s usual and customary charge; or (ii) the lower of cost acquisition data submitted by providers of pharmaceutical services for brand-name multi-source and multi-source drugs, where an alternative pricing benchmark is not available, plus a professional fee that is consistent with the NJ FamilyCare Program; or a provider’s usual and customary charge. To effectuate the calculation of SUL rates and/or the calculation of single-source and brand-name multi-source legend and non-legend drug costs where an alternative pricing benchmark is not available, the Department of Human Services shall mandate ongoing submission of current drug acquisition data by providers of pharmaceutical services. No funds hereinabove appropriated shall be paid to any entity that fails to submit required data.

Name brand manufacturers must provide for the payment of rebates to the State on the same basis as provided for in subsections (a) through (c) of section 1927 of the federal Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. s.1396r-8.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, no funds appropriated for the Pharmaceutical Assistance to the Aged and Disabled (PAAD) program pursuant to P.L.1975, c.194 (C.30:4D-20 et seq.), and the Senior Gold Prescription Discount Program, pursuant to P.L.2001, c.96 (C.30:4D-43 et seq.), shall be expended unless participating pharmaceutical manufacturing companies execute contracts with the Department of Human Services, providing for the payment of rebates to the State. Furthermore, rebates from pharmaceutical manufacturing companies for prescriptions purchased by the PAAD program and the Senior Gold Prescription Discount Program shall continue during the current fiscal year, provided that the manufacturer’s rebates for PAAD claims paid as secondary to Medicare Part D and for the Senior Gold Prescription Discount Program shall apply only to the amount paid by the State under the PAAD and Senior Gold Prescription Discount Programs. All revenues from such rebates during the current fiscal year are appropriated for the PAAD program and the Senior Gold Prescription Discount Program.

In addition to the amount hereinabove appropriated for the Pharmaceutical Assistance to the Aged and Disabled and the Senior Gold Prescription Discount programs, there are appropriated such additional amounts from the General Fund and available federal matching funds as may be required for the payment of claims, credits, and rebates, subject to the approval of the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting.

The mail-order program may waive, discount, or rebate the beneficiary copayment and mail-order pharmacy providers may dispense up to a 90-day supply on prescription refills with the voluntary participation of the beneficiary, subject to the approval of the Commissioner of Human Services and the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting.

Consistent with the requirements of the federal “Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003,” Pub.L.108-173, and the current federal prohibition against State automatic enrollment of Pharmaceutical Assistance to the Aged and Pharmaceutical Assistance to the Aged and Disabled (PAAD) programs and Senior Gold Prescription Discount Program recipients, no funds hereinabove appropriated to the PAAD program or Senior Gold Prescription Discount Program accounts shall be expended for any individual unless the individual enrolled in the PAAD program or Senior Gold Prescription Discount Program provides all data necessary to enroll the individual in Medicare Part D, including data required for the subsidy assistance, as outlined by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, the amount hereinabove appropriated for the Pharmaceutical Assistance to the Aged and Pharmaceutical Assistance to the Aged and Disabled (PAAD) programs, and Senior Gold Prescription Discount Program shall be conditioned upon the following provision: no funds shall be appropriated for the refilling of a prescription drug when paid by PAAD or the Senior Gold Prescription Discount Program as the primary payer until such time as the original prescription is 85 percent finished.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, no amounts hereinabove appropriated for the Pharmaceutical Assistance to the Aged and Disabled (PAAD) program or the Senior Gold Prescription Discount Program shall be expended for diabetic testing materials and supplies which are covered under the federal Medicare Part B program, or for vitamins, cough/cold medications, drugs used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction, or cosmetic drugs, including, but not limited to: drugs used for baldness, weight loss, and skin conditions.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, no amounts hereinabove appropriated for the Pharmaceutical Assistance to the Aged and Disabled (PAAD) program or the Senior Gold Prescription Discount Program shall be expended to cover medications not on the formulary of a PAAD program or Senior Gold Prescription Discount Program beneficiary’s Medicare Part D plan. This exclusion shall not apply to those drugs covered by the PAAD program and Senior Gold Prescription Discount Program which are specifically excluded by the federal Medicare Prescription Drug Program. In addition, this exclusion shall not impact the beneficiary’s rights, guaranteed by the “Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003”, Pub.L.108-173, to appeal the medical necessity of coverage for drugs not on the formulary of a Medicare Part D plan.

The amounts hereinabove appropriated for payments for the Pharmaceutical Assistance to the Aged and Disabled program, P.L.1975, c.194 (C.30:4D-20 et seq.), the Senior Gold Prescription Discount Program, P.L.2001, c.96 (C.30:4D-43 et seq.), and Community Based Senior Programs are available for the payment of obligations applicable to prior fiscal years.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, in order to maximize drug coverage under Medicare Part D, the appropriation for the Senior Gold Prescription Discount Program is conditioned on the Senior Gold Prescription Discount Program being designated the authorized representative for the purpose of coordinating benefits with the Medicare drug program, including appeals of coverage determinations. The Senior Gold Prescription Discount Program is authorized to represent program beneficiaries in the pursuit of such coverage. Senior Gold Prescription Discount Program representation shall include, but not be limited to, the following actions: pursuit of appeals, grievances, and coverage determinations.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, any funds appropriated as Grants-In-Aid and payable to any senior public college or university which requests approval from the Educational Facilities Authority and the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting may be pledged as a guarantee for payment of principal and interest on any bonds issued by the Educational Facilities Authority or by the college or university. Such funds, if so pledged, shall be made available by the State Treasurer upon receipt of written notification by the Educational Facilities Authority or the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting that the college or university does not have sufficient funds available for prompt payment of principal and interest on such bonds, and shall be paid by the State Treasurer directly to the holders of such bonds at such time and in such amounts as specified by the bond indenture, notwithstanding that payment of such funds does not coincide with any date for payment otherwise fixed by law.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, no amount hereinabove appropriated for any senior public institution of higher education shall be paid until the institution remits its quarterly fringe benefit reimbursement for positions in excess of the number of State-funded positions provided in this act, by the deadline and in the manner required by the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, the amounts hereinabove appropriated for the senior public institutions of higher education shall be paid to each institution in equal monthly installments on the last business day of each month.

Of the amounts hereinabove appropriated for University Hospital and Cooper Medical School - Cooper University Hospital Support, the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting may transfer such amounts as are determined to be necessary to the Division of Medical Assistance and Health Services to maximize federal Medicaid funds.

Funds appropriated to Rutgers University for purposes of medical education are authorized to be used as necessary by the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting and the Division of Medical Assistance and Health Services, consistent with CMS guidelines, solely to maximize federal Medicaid payments to faculty physicians and non-physician professionals who are affiliated with the aforementioned respective medical schools.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, the amounts hereinabove appropriated for the Outcomes-Based Allocation program in each of the senior public institutions of higher education shall be allocated and distributed to eligible senior public institutions based on a funding rationale determined by the Secretary of the Office of Higher Education, in consultation with the New Jersey Presidents Council, which shall be based upon the following criteria along with any other requirements the Secretary determines to be appropriate in order to advance equity and improve student outcomes, subject to the approval of the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting: (1) the total number of degrees awarded by the institution, (2) the number of degrees awarded by the institution to individuals from underrepresented ethnic and racial minority groups, and (3) the number of students at the institution who receive Pell grants; provided further, however, that institutions receiving awards shall be required to: (a) adopt and publicly offer a predictable pricing guarantee to all full-time undergraduate students enrolling in the fall of 2022 that ensures that each such student with a family adjusted gross income of up to $65,000 will receive enough financial aid from a combination of State, federal, institutional, and other grants or scholarships to eliminate the net cost of tuition and mandatory fees for the student for the third and fourth years of the student's enrollment at the institution, except that if the amount of the Fiscal Year 2022 appropriation for Outcomes Based Allocation that is in addition to the appropriation provided for Outcomes Based Allocation in the prior fiscal year are insufficient to cover the cost of the predictable pricing guarantee, the institution may submit to the Secretary of the Office of Higher Education for approval an alternative predictable pricing guarantee which utilizes a lower family adjusted gross income threshold or which ensures enough financial aid to partially offset the net cost of tuition and mandatory fees for a student's third and fourth years of enrollment at the institution, provided that such alternative predictable pricing guarantee shall be available to full-time undergraduate students newly enrolling in the fall of 2022. An institution receiving funds shall submit an expenditure plan, subject to the approval of the Director of Budget and Accounting, demonstrating that the amount of the Fiscal Year 2022 appropriation for Outcomes Based Allocation that is in addition to the appropriation provided for Outcomes Based Allocation in the prior fiscal year are sufficient to cover the cost of the predictable pricing guarantee or alternative pricing guarantee; (b) develop sliding-scale net prices for other students who have higher incomes to complement this pricing guarantee, consistent with a predictable pricing structure throughout the length of these students' academic program, (c) adopt a Financial Aid Shopping Sheet for all undergraduate students, (d) share program-level spending information to assist in the distribution of future funding, and (e) participate in good faith discussions led by the Secretary to improve future distribution of funding to institutions consistent with State priorities, subject to the approval of the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting. Beginning with the data for academic year 2020-2021, each four-year institution shall report to the Secretary of Higher Education and the Higher Education Student Assistance Authority, at an individual student unit record level, the amount of institutional aid granted to each undergraduate student.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any State law or regulation to the contrary, no State agency shall accept or expend federal funds except as appropriated by the Legislature or otherwise provided in this act.

In addition to the federal funds appropriated in this act, there are appropriated the following federal funds, subject to the approval of the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting: emergency disaster aid funds including grants for preventive measures; pass-through grants to political subdivisions of the State over which the State is not permitted to exercise discretion in the use or distribution of the funds and for which no State matching funds are required; the first $500,000 of unanticipated grant awards plus an additional 25 percent of any remaining award amount that is greater than $500,000, and up to 25 percent of increases in previously anticipated grant awards for which no State matching funds are required except, for the purpose of this section, federal funds received by one executive agency that are ultimately expended by another executive agency shall not be considered pass-through grants; federal financial aid funds for students attending post-secondary educational institutions in excess of the amount specifically appropriated, and any such grants intended to prevent threats to homeland security up to 100 percent of previously anticipated or unanticipated grant award amounts for which no State matching funds are required, provided, however, that the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting shall notify the Legislative Budget and Finance Officer of such grants.

For the purposes of federal funds appropriations, “political subdivisions of the State” means counties, municipalities, school districts, or agencies thereof, regional, county or municipal authorities, or districts other than interstate authorities or districts; “discretion” refers to any action in which an agency may determine either the amount of funds to be allocated or the recipient of the allocation; and “grants” refers to one-time, or time limited awards, which are received pursuant to submission of a grant application in competition with other grant applications.

The unexpended balances at the end of the preceding fiscal year of federal funds are appropriated for the same purposes, except for any unexpended prior-year balances of federal Coronavirus State Fiscal Recovery Fund assistance the State received under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. The Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting shall inform the Legislative Budget and Finance Officer by November 1 of the current fiscal year of any unexpended balances which are continued, including any unexpended balances of federal Coronavirus State Fiscal Recovery Fund assistance.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, funding allocated to the State from the federal “Coronavirus State Fiscal Recovery Fund” (SFRF) established pursuant to the federal “American Rescue Plan Act of 2021,” Pub. L. 117-2, and any other similar type of federal law that may be hereafter enacted, are appropriated and are subject to the following conditions:

a. with regard to individual items of appropriation in this act, that are eligible for SFRF funding, as determined by the Executive Director of the Governor’s Disaster Recovery Office, such eligible items may be paid for using SFRF funds, subject to the approval of the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting;

b. with regard to additional programs, projects, and uses of SFRF funds, moneys appropriated by this provision shall be used solely to pay for costs authorized to be paid pursuant to SFRF, which may include, but shall not be limited to, support for the public health response to the COVID-19 Pandemic and the public health emergency and economic distress resulting therefrom; grants to improve ventilation in school facilities and private businesses; responses to the negative economic impacts of the public health emergency, including rent, mortgage, or utility assistance to households; aid to businesses in impacted industries such as tourism, travel, and hospitality; costs of programs to address health disparities including through the remediation of lead hazards; water, sewer, and broadband infrastructure; costs to address educational disparities; and costs to promote healthy childhood environments, including the creation of a child care revitalization fund. The determination of eligibility of the specific programs, projects, and uses recommended to be funded by this appropriation shall be made by the Executive Director of the Governor’s Disaster Recovery Office, who shall establish an application and review process based on Statewide need, in compliance with federal eligibility requirements, subject to the approval of the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting. Funding recommendations shall be subject to the approval of the Joint Budget Oversight Committee (JBOC); provided, however, there is appropriated $200,000,000 from federal funds provided to the State of New Jersey pursuant to the SFRF, which may be directly allocated to pandemic-related programs without JBOC approval, not to exceed $10,000,000 for each such eligible program, as determined by the Executive Director of the Governor’s Disaster Recovery Office, subject to the approval of the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting. Notice shall be provided to JBOC with respect to each such appropriation. With respect to recommended appropriations of more than $10,000,000, and with respect to appropriations exceeding a total of $200,000,000, approval of the Joint Budget Oversight Committee shall be required; and

c. subject to the approval of the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting, appropriations shall include necessary administrative costs of the respective agencies in administering the individual programs and for the SFRF grants management costs incurred by the Department of Community Affairs, Division of Disaster Recovery & Mitigation, as the State's designated grants manager, in its oversight of the entire portfolio of funds, consistent with SFRF requirements. The administrative costs authorized in this subparagraph for an individual program shall be no more than 2.5 percent of the cost of that program and may not exceed $150,000,000 in total across all programs. In the event that the administrative costs of the agencies and the division administering the programs and projects funded by the SFRF are not permitted to be paid from the federal monies received by the State, there are appropriated from the General Fund such additional sums as are required, subject to the limitations contained in this subparagraph and subject to the approval of the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting and subject to the approval of the Joint Budget Oversight Committee.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, moneys are appropriated from the federal “Coronavirus State Fiscal Recovery Fund” (SFRF) established pursuant to the federal “American Rescue Plan Act of 2021,” Pub. L. 117-2, in the following amounts for the following purposes without the additional approval by the Joint Budget Oversight Committee:

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, $450,000,000 from funding allocated to the State from the federal “Coronavirus State Fiscal Recovery Fund” established pursuant to the federal “American Rescue Plan Act of 2021,” Pub. L. 117-2 is appropriated to New Jersey's three designated regional Level I Trauma Centers, University Hospital, Newark, Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, New Brunswick, and Cooper Hospital/University Medical Center, Camden, for the purpose of strengthening regional health emergency preparedness infrastructure in the north, central, and southern regions of the State, subject to the following conditions: each regional trauma center shall submit to the Commissioner of the Department of Health a preparedness improvement plan detailing its proposed use of appropriated funds, which plan shall describe the manner in which the plan would enhance the quality of the State's response to a pandemic or any future large-scale health emergency or catastrophic event. Each preparedness improvement plan shall also set forth the manner in which local communities would benefit, including local hiring and staffing efforts. Each preparedness improvement plan also shall contain a certification indicating that the proposed use of appropriated funds will be financially self-sustaining in the future, without any additional or ongoing operational costs to be borne by the State or local government entity, and if the use involves capital construction, a statement describing the manner in which the State prevailing wage, project labor agreement, and other applicable wage and labor laws will be observed. Each of the three designated Level I trauma centers shall be eligible for an equal share of the appropriated funds, subject to a determination by the Commissioner of Health that the proposed use of funds would strengthen regional health emergency preparedness, and subject to a determination by the Executive Director of the Governor’s Disaster Recovery Office, that the proposed use of the funds is an eligible purpose under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, subject to the approval of the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting.

Out of the appropriations herein, the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting is empowered to approve payments to liquidate any unrecorded liabilities for materials delivered or services rendered in prior fiscal years, upon the written recommendations of any department head or the department head’s designated representative. The Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting shall reject any recommendations for payment which the director deems improper.

In order to permit flexibility in the handling of appropriations and ensure the timely payment of claims to providers of medical services, amounts may be transferred to and from the various items of appropriation within the General Medical Services program classification, and within the federal matching funding, in the Division of Medical Assistance and Health Services and Division of Disability Services in the Department of Human Services, and within the Medical Services for the Aged program classification, and within the federal matching funding, in the Division of Aging Services in the Department of Human Services, subject to the approval of the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting. Notice thereof shall be provided to the Legislative Budget and Finance Officer on the effective date of the approved transfer.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law, regulation or Executive Order to the contrary, any purchase by the State or by a State agency or local government unit of equipment, goods or services related to homeland security and domestic preparedness, that is paid for or reimbursed by federal funds awarded by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security or other federal agency, appropriated in the current fiscal year, may be made through the receipt of public bids or as an alternative to public bidding and subject to the provisions of this paragraph, through direct purchase without advertising for bids or rejecting bids already received but not awarded. The equipment, goods or services purchased by a local government unit shall be referred to in the grant agreement issued by the State administrative agency administering such funds and shall be authorized by resolution of the governing body of the local government unit entering into the grant agreement. Such resolution may, without subsequent action of the local governing body, simultaneously accept the grant from the State administrative agency, authorize the insertion of the revenue and offsetting appropriation in the budget of the local government unit, and authorize the contracting agent of the local government unit to procure the equipment, goods or services. A copy of such resolution shall be filed with the chief financial officer of the local government unit, the State administrative agency and the Division of Local Government Services in the Department of Community Affairs. Purchases made without public bidding shall be from vendors that shall either (1) be holders of a current State contract for the equipment, goods or services sought, or (2) be participating in a federal procurement program established by a federal department or agency, or (3) have been approved by the State Treasurer in consultation with the New Jersey Domestic Security Preparedness Task Force. All homeland security purchases herein shall continue to be subject to all grant requirements and conditions approved by the State administrative agency. The Director of the Division of Purchase and Property may enter into or participate in purchasing agreements with one or more other states, or political subdivisions or compact agencies thereof, for the purchase of such equipment, goods or services, using monies appropriated under this act, to meet the domestic preparedness and homeland security needs of this State. Such purchasing agreement may provide for the sharing of costs and the methods of payments relating to such purchases. Furthermore, a county government awarding a contract for Homeland Security equipment, goods or services, may, with the approval of the vendor, extend the terms and conditions of the contract to any other county government that wants to purchase under that contract, subject to notice and documentation requirements issued by the Director of the Division of Local Government Services.

Of the amounts appropriated for Income Maintenance Management, amounts may be transferred to the various departments in accordance with the Division of Family Development’s agreements, subject to the approval of the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting. Any unobligated balances remaining from funds transferred to the departments shall be transferred back to the Division of Family Development subject to the approval of the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, in addition to the federal funds hereinabove appropriated, there are appropriated to the appropriate executive agencies, subject to the approval of the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting, such additional federal funds received during this fiscal year pursuant to any federal law authorizing a federal economic stimulus program or any other similar federal program for the purposes, projects, and programs set forth in such law; provided, however, that if the federal law does not delineate the specific purposes, projects, and programs to be funded by the federal funds, the purposes, projects, and programs to be funded by the federal funds shall be subject to the approval of the Joint Budget Oversight Committee, and further provided, however, that the State Treasurer shall report to the President of the Senate, the Speaker of the General Assembly, the Chair of the Senate Budget and Appropriations Committee, and the Chair of the Assembly Budget Committee at least quarterly on the receipt and utilization of all additional federal funds received during this fiscal year pursuant to any federal law authorizing a federal economic stimulus program.

Officials from the appropriate executive agencies are hereby authorized to take such steps, if any, as may be necessary to qualify for, apply for, receive and expend such federal funds and to make such commitments, representations and other agreements as may be required by the federal government to receive federal funds under federal law authorizing the federal economic stimulus program or any other similar federal law. Furthermore, and notwithstanding the provisions of any other law or regulation to the contrary, officials from the appropriate executive agencies may encumber any of these federal funds appropriated pursuant to this provision prior to entering into any contract, grant or other agreement obligating the federal funds, subject to the approval of the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, federal funds provided under the State Energy Program (SEP) and the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant Program (Block Grant Program), pursuant to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, Pub.L. 111-5 and any other similar type of federal stimulus law which may be hereinafter enacted (collectively referred to as ARRA), are appropriated.

In collaboration with DMAHS and the Department of Banking and Insurance, the Office of the Treasurer, the DPB shall conduct a market scan of State-funded team-based primary care models (including but not limited to the Comprehensive Primary Care initiatives and Patient Centered Medical Home models) currently in use in markets in the State that are funded in any part with State revenue. The market scan shall include a detailed description of all the quality, efficiency, and performance measures used in the models and shall be made publicly available on the DPB website. The market scan shall be used by the State to develop an aligned high-quality team-based primary care model or models (that emphasize capitation and performance payments over a fee for service reimbursement model) that shall be included in all State-funded health benefits and health insurance programs.

 

      103. Any funds that may be received by the State of New Jersey in relation to a legal settlement entered into with, or litigation undertaken against, opioid manufacturers or distributers related to claims arising from the manufacture, marketing, distribution, or dispensing of opioids, shall be deposited in the “Opioid Recovery and Remediation Fund” established pursuant to P.L. c. (C. ) (pending before the Legislature as Senate Bill No. 3867 and Assembly Bill No. 5868). No funds appropriated by this act shall be drawn from the fund, except as expressly indicated.

 

      104. In addition to the amounts hereinabove appropriated, there are appropriated such additional amounts, subject to the approval of the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting, as are determined to be required to satisfy federal maintenance-of-effort and maintenance-of-equity requirements pursuant to the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.

 

      105. This act shall take effect July 1, 2021.
