17:1C-33 Findings, declarations relative to funding mechanism for Division of Banking.
1. a. The Legislature finds and declares that:
(1)The Division of Banking has a statutory obligation to protect the interests of New Jersey's consumers and to regulate and oversee the operations of the financial industry it charters, licenses and registers.
(2)In order to maintain an adequate level of oversight and supervision, and to perform its regulatory responsibilities, it is necessary to establish an assessment funding mechanism for the division's special needs.
(3)A banking assessment funding source is a clear indication of the commitment that the State of New Jersey has made to the special needs of the Division of Banking relative to its administrative activities with regard to the financial regulation, supervision and monitoring of the depository institutions and other financial entities it charters, licenses and registers.
(4)A dedicated funding mechanism for the Division of Banking is in the public interest.
b.The Legislature therefore intends for the actual incurred expenses of the Division of Banking for all services related to the division's financial regulation, supervision and monitoring of depository institutions and other financial entities it charters, licenses and registers to be assessed among these depository institutions, licensees and registrants.
