Requires EDA to establish program providing grants to certain chambers of commerce; appropriates $1.5 million.

This bill requires New Jersey's Economic Development Authority (EDA) to create a grant program providing up to $25,000 per grant to qualified chambers of commerce for community events ("programming") and routine operations. It appropriates $1.5 million from the state General Fund to establish a "Business Recovery Fund" supporting this program, which directly affects chambers serving business communities across regions larger than single municipalities. The EDA must set application rules, approval criteria, and reporting requirements for recipients, with funds intended to aid business recovery following the pandemic. The program will operate under temporary regulations that must be finalized within 12 months.
