New Jersey Statutes Title 18A. Education 18A § 16-13.3

a. Actual savings realized by a school district as a result of the implementation of the provisions of P.L.2020, c. 44 (C.52:14-17.46.13 et al.) shall be used solely and exclusively by the school district for the purpose of reducing the amount that is required to be raised by the local property tax levy by the school district for school district purposes, except when a school district is spending below adequacy as calculated in accordance with section 1 of P.L.2018, c. 67 (C.18A:7F-70).

When a cap on the annual increase in the property tax levy for a school district is imposed by law, the savings realized shall be deducted from the adjusted tax levy for the previous budget year and that reduced amount shall serve as the basis for calculating the adjusted tax levy for the next school year.

b. To enable tracking of health care cost savings by school districts, each school district shall submit an annual data sheet for both the current and prior year showing the Total Annual Cost of Health Benefits for Active Employees, the Total Employee Cost-Sharing Contribution, and the Net Cost to the School District for Health Benefits, including the Number of Covered Employees, the Annual Cost Estimate Per Employee, and the Total Cost for each coverage category- Single Coverage, Parent and Child, Employee and Spouse, and Family.

In addition, school districts shall provide separate breakouts of the same categories of data for health care coverage under all health care benefits plans offered by the employer. The datasheet shall also indicate whether the school district is enrolled in the School Employees' Health Benefits Program for medical or medical and prescription drug benefits coverage. Reports shall be due no later than 60 days following each enrollment period to the Department of Education, the Division of Pensions and Benefits in the Department of the Treasury, and the Legislature.
