All local redevelopment agencies or commissions administering urban renewal or redevelopment projects receiving grants for urban renewal or redevelopment from the state shall certify to the Commissioner of Housing on September first of each year a list of all persons employed or retained by the redevelopment agency or commission during the preceding fiscal year and the amount of remuneration that each of such persons received; and a list of all other persons or firms that performed work by contract or otherwise, with a description of the work performed, and the contract amounts paid to such persons or firms during the preceding fiscal year. The filing of such certification shall be a prerequisite for the receipt of state financial assistance and the state will not reserve any funds, execute any assistance agreements or make any further payments under existing contracts to any redevelopment agency or commission which has not complied with this filing requirement, except that the commissioner may determine that such redevelopment agency or commission has made a good faith effort to provide such certification.
