2. To defray the costs incurred by the State in providing supplemental security, the State Treasurer shall annually make an assessment against the operator of each nuclear electric generating facility located in New Jersey.

The amount of the assessment shall be determined by the State Treasurer. In making that determination, the State Treasurer shall include the salaries of the State Police and State National Guard personnel assigned supplemental security duties, the costs of all necessary specialized equipment and training, and all other expenditures directly related to having the State provide supplemental security at each nuclear electric generating facility. The amount of the assessment so determined shall not exceed the actual aggregate costs incurred by the State in providing supplemental security at these facilities.

To the greatest extent practicable, the State Treasurer shall apportion the assessment among the operators to reflect the actual costs incurred by the State in providing supplemental security at each particular nuclear electric generating facility.

The assessment apportioned each operator shall be due and payable at a time and in a manner prescribed by the State Treasurer.
