Establishes matching grant program in Department of State for local government units hiring storytellers with Revolutionary War expertise for United States Semiquincentennial; makes appropriation.

This bill creates a New Jersey Department of State grant program to fund local governments hiring storytellers with Revolutionary War expertise. Local governments can receive matching grants of up to $25,000 each to hire these storytellers, with the goal of attracting tourists during the 2026 U.S. Semiquincentennial (250th anniversary of the Revolutionary War). The program requires applicants to demonstrate specific tourism objectives and prove their location is historically significant to the Revolutionary War. A total of $2 million in state funds is appropriated, with the program ending by December 31, 2026, or when funds are exhausted.
