A 5162 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Makes FY2025 supplemental appropriation of $10 million for Unmanned Aircraft Systems Grant Program.

This bill adds $10 million in supplemental funding to New Jersey's FY2025 budget specifically for the Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Grant Program under the Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness. It directly provides state and local law enforcement agencies with grant money to purchase equipment or training needed to address unexplained drone sightings and ensure compliance with UAS regulations. The key provision is the allocation of $10 million to support local officials in safeguarding critical infrastructure against potential threats from unidentifiable drones. This is a funding mechanism, not a new regulation, focused on operational readiness for existing drone-related safety concerns.
