ASSEMBLY STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE
STATEMENT TO
SENATE, No.
3251
STATE
OF NEW JERSEY
DATED:
�JUNE
15, 2026
����� The Assembly State and Local Government Committee
reports favorably Senate Bill No. 3251.
����� As reported, this bill makes several changes to
P.L.1985, c.334 (C.58:11B-1 et seq.), the enabling act for the New Jersey
Infrastructure Bank (I-Bank).
����� Specifically, the bill adds a definition of
�cross-investment� in order to standardize the use of the term across the
I-Bank�s enabling act.� As defined by the bill, �cross-investment� means the
investment of funds of one financing program established and implemented by the
I-Bank in a bond, note, or other obligation issued by another financing program
established and implemented by the I-Bank.� The bill also provides that the
I-Bank is authorized to purchase bonds, note, and other obligations at its
discretion if the purchase is in connection with a cross-investment.
����� The bill also clarifies that a $10 billion statutory
limit on the indebtedness of the I-Bank refers to the total outstanding debt of
the I-Bank at a given time, not to the cumulative amount of debt that the
I-Bank has incurred since its inception.� Finally, the bill clarifies that the
I-Bank is authorized to provide loans and provide other assistance to
wastewater, water supply, and onsite wastewater treatment projects, rather than
to provide loans only.
����� As reported by the committee, Senate Bill No. 3251 is
identical to Assembly Bill No. A5191, which was also reported by the committee
on this date.
