Chapter 8: Preamble; agreement
Section: 32:8-3.5: Findings, declarations
1. The Legislature finds and declares that:
a. The Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission was created by this State and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, with the consent of Congress, to provide an efficient means of carrying out the planning, construction, maintenance and rehabilitation of certain Delaware River crossings.
b. The State and the Commonwealth rely upon the commission to competently execute the duties and powers delegated to it as well as to carefully manage the not inconsiderable financial means available to the commission.
c. Notwithstanding the delegation of power to the commission, it is incumbent upon the State of New Jersey and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to ensure that the commission executes its powers in a manner which ensures fairness to prospective employees. In addition, it is appropriate for the State of New Jersey and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to include certain fundamental governmental policies, such as equal employment opportunity, in the commission's enabling laws.
d. Therefore, it is in the best interest of the public to supplement or limit the powers of the commission, as the case may be, to ensure that commission employment practices are in accordance with the public policies of the State of New Jersey and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
