Amends Fiscal Year 2025 annual appropriations act to assign distribution of Old Courthouse asbestos remediation funding from Hudson County to Jersey City.
This bill changes the distribution of $2 million in state funding for asbestos remediation at the Old Courthouse. Currently, the FY2025 appropriations act allocates these funds to Hudson County, but the bill redirects them directly to the City of Jersey City. The Old Courthouse (the Hudson County Administration Building) is physically located in Jersey City, so the bill corrects the misallocation by assigning the funds to the city responsible for the building. The change ensures the money goes directly to the entity managing the asbestos removal project at the courthouse site.
