A 1243 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes Emergency Medical Services Provider Safety Grant Program in DOH; appropriates $10 million.

This bill creates a one-time grant program to help New Jersey emergency medical services (EMS) providers purchase safety equipment like masks, gloves, protective clothing, and cleaning supplies. It allocates $10 million from federal pandemic recovery funds to the state Department of Health, which will distribute competitive grants based on providers' need, service volume, and COVID-19 impact. EMS providers must apply online, detailing how funds will be used and who will manage purchases, with priority given to those serving high-risk communities. The program expires once the $10 million is spent, and the health commissioner must report on grant usage within a year.
