Implement separately toggleable contributed reforms for NJ's FY2026

Includes parameters, reform modules, and YAML test cases (12 tests).

…tions

The previous commit accidentally included WA SB6346 import from another
branch, causing ModuleNotFoundError in CI. Removed it and properly
registered the NJ StayNJ and ANCHOR reforms.

PR Review

✅ Validation Summary

Check Result
CI Status ✅ All Passing
Regulatory Accuracy ✅ Correct - StayNJ $250K/$4K confirmed, ANCHOR senior homeowner bonus expiry confirmed
Reference Quality ✅ Good - Multiple authoritative sources cited
Code Patterns ✅ Follows standard reform patterns
Test Coverage ✅ Comprehensive (6 test cases per reform)

🟢 Minor Suggestion

The P.L. 2023, c.75 PDF references could include page anchors for direct navigation:

  • stay_nj/income_limit.yaml: Add #page=1 to the href
  • stay_nj/max_benefit.yaml: Add #page=1 to the href

Example:

href: https://pub.njleg.state.nj.us/Bills/2022/PL23/75_.PDF#page=1

Conclusion

APPROVE - Well-implemented reform that correctly models:

  • Senior homeowner ANCHOR bonus expiry ($1,750→$1,500, $1,250→$1,000)
  • Senior renter ANCHOR bonus extension (unchanged at $700)
  • StayNJ income limit reduction to $250K
  • StayNJ max benefit cap at $4,000

The minor suggestion is optional and does not block merge.
