Fiscal Impact
�
Potential County Revenue Increase
Indeterminate
Potential County Expenditure Increase
Indeterminate
Potential RRRCA Revenue Increase
Indeterminate
�
The Office of Legislative Services (OLS) concludes that the bill
will result in increased property tax levy authority for certain counties that
participate in a Regional Rehabilitation and Reentry Center Authority (RRRCA)
associated with the exclusion of RRRCA debt service from the 2.5 percent
property tax levy cap.� This would result in increased county property tax
revenue increase, and a corresponding county expenditure increase and RRRCA
revenue increase, due to a requirement to appropriate such funds to the RRRCA.�
�
Affected counties that exclude this category of debt service from
the property tax levy cap can expect no net fiscal impact since additional
county property tax revenues collected pursuant to the bill will be
appropriated to the RRRCA.
BILL DESCRIPTION
����� In part, the bill amends the 1977 local budget cap law
to add Regional Rehabilitation and Reentry Center Authority debt service as an
exception to the 2.5 percent county property tax levy cap.

����� None received.
OFFICE OF LEGISLATIVE SERVICES
����� The OLS concludes that the bill will result in
increased property tax levy authority for certain counties that participate in
a Regional Rehabilitation and Reentry Center Authority (RRRCA) associated with
the exclusion of RRRCA debt service from the 2.5 percent property tax levy
cap.� This would result in increased county property tax revenue increase, and
a corresponding county expenditure increase and RRRCA revenue increase, due to
a requirement to appropriate such funds to the RRRCA.� Affected counties that
exclude this category of debt service from the property tax levy cap can expect
no net fiscal impact since additional county property tax revenues collected
pursuant to the bill will be appropriated to the RRRCA.
����� In August 2025, Camden County and Cumberland County
entered into the first agreement for a regional rehabilitation and reentry center,
however, work on this project is yet to begin.� The OLS is unable to predict
future developments relating to the existing agreement, including additional
counties that may elect to participate and the financial implications of such
expansion.� The OLS is also unable to predict whether other RRRCA agreements
will be entered into.� The OLS is, therefore, unable to predict the exact
impact on county property tax collection and the amounts that may be
appropriated by a county to an RRRCA.
