44:14-2.  Legislative findings and declarations
    The Legislature finds and declares:  that there is a wide disparity in the cost of welfare between counties despite the assumption of the major portion of  such costs by the Federal and State Governments;  that the county costs are  reflected in the real property taxes paid by the county residents;  that the  tax reform program enacted in 1976 is designed to relieve property tax burdens;   that, consistent with the objectives of that tax reform program, it is  altogether fitting and proper to establish a program to provide relief for local taxpayers by placing certain limitations on the per capita costs of county welfare.
