8. a. At the end of four years following the commencement of duties by the chief operating officer, the chief operating officer or his or her successor shall submit a report to the Governor, each member of the State Economic Recovery Board, each member of the Senate and General Assembly, each member of the county board of freeholders in the county in which the qualified municipality is situated, each member of the regional impact council, the mayor, and each member of the governing body of the qualified municipality. The report shall evaluate progress made in rehabilitating the qualified municipality and the status of economic recovery efforts. The report shall include an enumeration of any problems or hurdles encountered in rehabilitation and economic recovery and, where applicable, recommendations for any amendments to State law which would promote and encourage rehabilitation and economic recovery. If the chief operating officer anticipates that the rehabilitation term will be insufficient to achieve rehabilitation goals, the chief operating officer shall include in the report a detailed analysis of the causes for the municipality's inability to reestablish local control and an assessment of the amount of time necessary for the continuation of the period of the rehabilitation term.
In addition to the foregoing, the report shall include detailed information as to how those funds appropriated pursuant to P.L.2002, c.43 (C.52:27BBB-1 et al.) are being spent and how those expenditures are serving to promote the economic revitalization of the qualified municipality.
b. Within 30 days of receipt of the report by members of the Legislature, a hearing shall be held by the Senate Community and Urban Affairs Committee and the Assembly Housing and Local Government Committee, or their successors, to provide an opportunity for public comment and discussion.
