Authorizes creation of non-lapsing fire academy trust fund by county.
This bill (S 1289) allows New Jersey counties to create a dedicated "Fire Academy Trust Fund" using fees paid by individuals registering for county fire academy courses. The fund's revenue - collected from course registrations - must be used exclusively for fire academy equipment, maintenance, supplies, and related services. It prevents these fees from lapsing into the county's general budget at year-end, ensuring consistent funding for fire academy operations. The bill amends existing law to establish this non-lapsing trust fund structure.
