A 3098 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes Military Funeral Honors Grant Program to provide grants to certain veteran organizations that provide military funeral honors.

This bill establishes a grant program to support nonprofit veteran organizations that provide military funeral honors in New Jersey. Qualified organizations - those with IRS tax-exempt status under 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(19) - will receive grants of up to $75 per funeral service, with potential reductions for multiple services on the same day based on actual costs like mileage. The program is administered by the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, using a special revolving fund financed by state appropriations, donations, and other designated sources. Organizations must apply through department-developed procedures and enter into grant agreements to access funding.
