A 847 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Makes supplemental appropriation of $1 billion for After School Recreation in Urban Areas.

This bill appropriates $1 billion in supplemental funding for after-school recreation programs in urban areas. It directs the Commissioner of Education to allocate these funds through a competitive application process to improve playgrounds, pools, and recreational infrastructure; reopen closed parks; and support mentorship programs with computer science, home economics, and life skills education. The funding directly affects urban communities and schools by expanding access to safe after-school activities and educational resources. The bill creates no new programs but provides concrete financial support for existing infrastructure and educational initiatives in underserved urban neighborhoods.
