Establishes surplus revenue reserve account in the Property Tax Relief Fund if certain levels of unanticipated gross income tax revenue are collected.
S 1762 establishes a "Surplus Gross Income Tax Revenue Account" within New Jersey's Property Tax Relief Fund. It requires the State Treasurer to deposit half of any unanticipated gross income tax revenue exceeding projections by more than 6% annually into this reserve. The account functions as a dedicated "rainy day fund" specifically for property tax relief programs and State Aid programs that offset local property taxes. Funds in the account can only be used for these purposes, with strict conditions for withdrawal (e.g., during revenue shortfalls or emergencies), and cannot be used to increase tax rates. This creates a mechanism to save excess tax collections for future property tax relief, directly affecting taxpayers through potential future relief programs.
