Makes supplemental appropriation of $3,000,000 to Division on Civil Rights.
This bill appropriates $3 million in supplemental funding to New Jersey's Division on Civil Rights (DCR) for system upgrades to the New Jersey Bias Investigation Access System (NJ BIAS). The funds specifically support updating the NJ BIAS platform, which helps state, county, and municipal law enforcement agencies consistently track and report bias crimes. The DCR, the state agency responsible for enforcing civil rights laws, will use this funding to improve how bias crime data is collected and managed across law enforcement. The appropriation is for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, with unspent funds carrying forward for the same purpose.
