52:15D-1 Findings, declarations relative to deployment of oversight monitors in implementation of certain recovery and rebuilding projects.
1. The Legislature finds and declares that:
a. Hurricane Sandy has inflicted approximately $30,000,000,000 worth of damage upon the State and exposed the need for more than $7,000,000,000 in mitigation efforts to buttress the State's defenses from future storms, according to the Governor's initial estimates of November of 2012;
b. The State of New Jersey, with the assistance of the federal government, shall endeavor to repair, rebuild, and revitalize the portions of the State devastated by Hurricane Sandy;
c. The State of New Jersey is duty bound to its residents and all taxpayers in the United States to ensure that all resources dedicated to the recovery from Hurricane Sandy be applied in an efficient manner and that the State should take all necessary precautions to prevent, detect, and remediate waste, fraud, and abuse;
d. Given the severity of the damage caused by Hurricane Sandy and the magnitude of the resources necessary to begin the recovery process there is a need to ensure that the State has sufficient capacity for efficient oversight; and
e. The use of integrity monitors as independent oversight providers may be an effective measure to supplement the State's existing compliance control mechanisms to prevent the inefficient expenditure of Hurricane Sandy recovery resources.
