52:9X-1 Findings, declarations, determinations.
1. a. The Legislature finds and declares that:
(1) during its existence, the New Jersey Commission on Science and Technology encouraged the development of scientific and technological programs, stimulated academic-industrial cooperation, and coordinated activities of technological centers and business facilities;
(2) the primary mission of the commission was to accelerate economic development by applying science and technology applications to industry;
(3) the principal goals of the commission were the creation of new jobs and the revitalization of industry by encouraging new enterprises, particularly those that are oriented towards the adoption of the most advanced scientific and technological techniques; and
(4) due to the elimination of its funding in 2010, the commission became non-operational.
b. The Legislature therefore determines that it is necessary and desirable to:
(1) re-establish the commission as a qualified body to exercise oversight for the responsibility of implementing, evaluating, and formulating long-range plans and programs for science, innovation, and technology in New Jersey; and
(2) rename the commission as the New Jersey Commission on Science, Innovation and Technology to recognize the role and the importance of innovation developed at the State's institutions of higher education and businesses to the economy of this State.
