 directed to conduct a study on real property tax saturation. Such  study
 shall include, but not be limited to:
   (a)  the  percentage  of real property within each county of the state
 that is exempt from real property taxation;
   (b) an examination of each county within the top twentieth  percentile
 of  all counties for the highest percentage of real property exempt from
 taxation, such examination to include the impact  of  such  exempt  real
 property over the five year period preceding the study on:
   (i) the housing market in such counties, including new construction;
   (ii) the growth or loss of new small businesses in such counties;
   (iii) the growth or loss of new jobs in such counties;
   (iv) the population growth or loss of such counties;
   (v)  the  number  of  tax  exempt not-for-profit organizations in such

 necessary and appropriate. Such report shall be delivered to the  gover-
 nor, the temporary president of the senate and the speaker of the assem-
 bly no later than one year after the effective date of this act.
