S 1816 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes Children's Health Promotion Fund.

S 1816 establishes the Children's Health Promotion Fund within New Jersey's Treasury to support programs for low-income children. The fund will be financed by a 7% tax on certain retail sales and services (including prepared food and specific services like storage or maintenance) as amended by the bill. The Department of Health will use these funds to improve access to healthy food, provide nutrition education, and promote community health initiatives for low-income children and their families. This bill directly benefits low-income children by expanding access to health resources through concrete program support.
