Establishes Firefighter Critical Mental Health Assistance Grant Program; appropriates $1 million.

This bill establishes the Firefighter Critical Mental Health Assistance Grant Program within New Jersey's Department of Human Services. It appropriates $1 million to fund confidential mental health services for firefighters (full-time public fire department employees) and their immediate family members (spouses, domestic partners, children, or parents living in the same home) experiencing mental health crises or suicidal thoughts. The program awards grants to mental health providers who meet geographic accessibility criteria (aiming to limit travel time to under one hour), with the Commissioner of Human Services managing applications, selection, and publishing a list of approved providers online. The bill directly addresses barriers to treatment by creating a confidential, accessible service pathway for firefighters and their families.
