A 4638 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes "Resident Firefighter Grant Program" in Division of Fire Safety.

This bill establishes a state grant program to help fire districts create or expand resident firefighter programs. It directly affects fire districts by providing funds to build or improve housing facilities (like dormitories with kitchens) and offer amenities for firefighters who live at fire stations in exchange for their duties. Grants can cover construction, supplies, and incentives, with the state required to request at least $5 million annually for the program. The Division of Fire Safety will manage applications, ensure equitable regional distribution of funds, and monitor grant usage.
