The provisions of this section shall not apply to a development for which a complete application for development is submitted prior to the effective date of P.L. , c.

For any newly-built inclusionary development, the construction of which would require more than one acre of land to be cleared, the developer, prior to submitting an application for development, shall submit a report of the findings of a carbon impact study to the approving authority of the municipality in which the development is to be located. 3. The Commissioner of Community Affairs, in accordance with the "Administrative Procedures Act," P.L.1968, c.140 (C.52:14B-1 et seq.), and in consultation with the Department of Environmental Protection and the Department of Education, shall adopt rules and regulations to effectuate the provisions of P.L. , c.
