Establishes EDA grant program to support increased business expenses incurred by certain businesses impacted by certain public highway projects; appropriates $1 million.

This bill establishes a $1 million grant program administered by New Jersey's Economic Development Authority (EDA) to reimburse small retail businesses for increased operating costs caused by public highway projects. It directly affects small retail businesses (with ≤50 employees) located in areas where highway construction blocks traffic or access ("impacted construction zones") during project timelines ("relief periods"). Businesses apply to the EDA with documentation comparing their normal daily operating expenses before the project to their actual expenses during the project, including lost revenue. The EDA will issue reimbursements for the difference between these amounts, using funds appropriated from the General Fund.
