Section 13:80-1.10 - Post-determination claiming and payment of awards

(a) Within 20 days of receipt of a notification of award eligibility pursuant to 13:80-1.9, the applicant shall make a formal claim for such award by forwarding to the Attorney General's designee through the Division of Criminal Justice a written acknowledgment of the notification and request for the award.

(b) Where the applicant's information proximately resulted in either the arrest and conviction or the institution of the civil action and imposition of the civil penalty, the award shall thereafter be paid to the successful applicant upon collection of, as the case may be, the fine from the person arrested and convicted of either the illegal treatment, storage or disposal of hazardous waste or the illegal treatment, transport, storage or disposal of low-level radioactive waste; the illegal discharge of certain material into ocean waters; or the illegal treatment, storage, transportation or disposal of medical waste; or the civil penalty for the illegal treatment, storage, transportation or disposal of solid, hazardous or medical waste; or fines assessed for violating an administrative order or court order; or for failing to pay in full an administrative assessment.

(c) Payment of an award pursuant to this section is contingent upon the actual collection of fines or penalties. No award can be paid in an amount in excess of what is actually collected as a fine except when collected pursuant to 13:1E-9.2 and 13:1E-48.2 4, which provide a minimum award of $ 250.00. In no case can the applicant receive any award until the entire fine or penalty has been collected.
