Permits Department of Veterans Affairs to receive voluntary contributions for veteran suicide prevention public service announcements.*
This bill permits New Jersey's Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (DMVA) to accept voluntary donations, grants, or gifts from the public and private sectors specifically for creating veteran suicide prevention public service announcements (PSAs). The funds received would be deposited into a special nonlapsing state fund managed by the State Treasurer and must be used exclusively for producing these PSAs. It directly affects the DMVA's funding mechanisms for suicide prevention outreach, allowing it to supplement existing efforts without requiring new state appropriations. The bill does not change existing suicide prevention programs but creates a new funding pathway for PSAs through private or public contributions.
