Establishes Emergency Services Assistance Grant Program in DOH; appropriates $10 million.
This bill creates the Emergency Services Assistance Grant Program within New Jersey's Department of Health, using $10 million in federal pandemic relief funds. It provides financial assistance to volunteer fire companies and emergency medical squads (like first aid, rescue, or ambulance groups) that lost fundraising revenue due to pandemic-related mandates. The program requires applicants to submit financial records showing prior fundraising activity, with grants awarded based on that history. The Department of Health will manage applications and fund distribution until all $10 million is exhausted, after which the program ends.
