New Jersey Statutes Title 45. Professions and Occupations 45 § 15-40

a. If at any time the funds available in the real estate guaranty fund are insufficient to satisfy in full court orders for payment therefrom, payment shall be made in the order in which such court orders were issued; and the New Jersey Real Estate Commission shall by regulation impose further additional amounts to be paid by brokers, broker-salespersons, or salespersons to replenish the guaranty fund. No such additional amount assessed at any one time shall exceed the amounts specified in section 2 of P.L.1976, c. 112 (C.45:15-35).

b. If at any time the funds available in the real estate guaranty fund are, in the opinion of the New Jersey Real Estate Commission, in excess of amounts anticipated to be necessary to meet claims for a period of at least two years, the commission may, with the approval of the Commissioner of Banking and Insurance, allocate and receive from the guaranty fund a specified amount thereof for research and educational projects to increase the proficiency and competency of real estate licensees.
