A 2371 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Prioritizes distribution of 9-1-1 System and Emergency Response Trust Fund monies; permits use of funds for certain expenses incurred by counties and municipalities for the provision and maintenance of 9-1-1 emergency services.

This bill changes how New Jersey's 9-1-1 System and Emergency Response Trust Fund distributes money. It explicitly allows the fund to cover costs incurred by counties and municipalities for 9-1-1 services - including training, operating expenses, and equipment - expanding current eligibility. The bill also adds a prioritization rule: funds must first go to county, regionalized, or large centralized 9-1-1 centers before other local providers. This ensures critical 9-1-1 operations receive funding first, without creating new taxes or spending.
