The State of New Jersey hereby elects to exercise the option reserved to each State by section ten of this act (and by the corresponding section of the New York statute concurring herein); and accordingly, if by the effective date of this act, this State has adopted, or if thereafter it shall adopt general legislation governing applications for Federal aid for air terminals by municipalities of this State or the receipt or disbursement of such Federal aid by or on behalf of such municipalities, such legislation shall apply to applications by the Port Authority for Federal aid for air terminals located in this State in the same manner and to the same extent as other municipalities of this State; provided, that if such legislation shall require such applications for Federal aid to be approved by any officer, board, commission, department or other agency of this State or shall require the consent of any such agency of this State to the submission thereof to the Federal Government, or shall require any such agency of this State to be designated by municipalities as their agent to collect or disburse such Federal aid, or shall contain any other requirement vesting any such agency of this State with power or discretion with respect to the making of such applications for Federal aid or the receipt or disbursement thereof, then such officer, board, commission, department or other agency of this State shall have power to waive such requirement in whole or in part temporarily or permanently insofar as the Port Authority is concerned.
