N.J. Stat. § 45:22A-46.16
For the purpose of determining credits to be granted against the fair share obligation of a municipality under the requirements of P.L. 1985, c.222 (C.52:27D-301 et al.) and the regulations promulgated to effectuate that act, a housing unit financed in whole or in part through the allocation of federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credits shall be eligible to be credited if the requirements of federal law pursuant to 26 U.S.C. s. 42 have been met for that unit. In the event the federal requirements have been met, the provisions of the Uniform Housing Affordability Controls promulgated by the New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency shall not be applied to inhibit or prevent the crediting of the housing unit against the municipal fair share obligation.
