STATEMENT TO

ASSEMBLY, No. 4035

with committee amendments

STATE OF NEW JERSEY

DATED:  JUNE 17, 2024

      The Assembly Health Committee reports favorably and with committee amendments Assembly Bill No. 4035.

      As amended, this bill requires the State Treasurer, on behalf of the State, to sell to the Morris County Educational Services Commission a 10.01 acres parcel of land, known as the Morris Regional Day School, located at 5 Jean Street in Morris Township, Morris County.  The bill requires the State Treasurer to consult with the governing body of Morris County if the description of the property as detailed in the bill varies from the description of the property as it appears on the tax map, conform the instrument of conveyance’s description of the property to that of the tax map, and execute the sale.

     The bill requires the State Treasurer to execute the sale in accordance with the provisions and schedule established in the bill.  The sale will be a direct sale for the sum of one dollar and the property will be conveyed in an “as is” condition, unless the State and county agree otherwise.

     Under the bill, the sale and conveyance of the property will not require approval from the Department of Education, nor any additional approval from the Legislature beyond the passage of the bill, notwithstanding any provision of law, rule, or regulation to the contrary.

COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS:

     The committee amendments provide that the sale and conveyance is to be executed by the State Treasurer, instead of the Attorney General, and in accordance with terms and conditions approved by the State House Commission that may be in addition to terms and conditions set forth in the bill.
