Bill Summary

This bill would prohibit a State public body from awarding an economic development subsidy to a business that previously received an economic development subsidy that was a loan or loan guarantee if the payment of principal and interest on the loan or loan guarantee is more than 24 months overdue. Current law prohibits a State public body from awarding an economic development subsidy to a business that previously received an economic development subsidy that was a loan or loan guarantee if the business is in default on the loan or loan guarantee. For the purposes of this bill, and current law: "State public body" means the State of New Jersey or any agency, authority, board, commission, or instrumentality of the State, but does not mean a political subdivision of the State or an agency, authority, board, commission, or instrumentality of a political subdivision of the State; and "Economic development subsidy" means the provision of an amount of funds to a recipient business by or from a State public body with a value of greater than $25,000 for the purpose of stimulating economic development in New Jersey, including, but not limited to, a loan or loan guarantee.

AI Summary

This bill would prohibit a State public body (a New Jersey state agency or authority) from awarding an economic development subsidy (a loan, loan guarantee, or other funding over $25,000) to a business that previously received such a subsidy if the payment of principal and interest on the prior loan or loan guarantee is more than 24 months overdue, even if the business is not technically in default. The current law only prohibits awarding a new subsidy if the business is in default on a prior one.
