New Jersey Senate Bill S 3220 establishes a state grant program to help small and mid-sized businesses (fewer than 500 employees operating primarily in New Jersey) hire cybersecurity staff. The program, funded with $750,000 from the General Fund, provides grants covering one year of startup salary costs for cybersecurity specialists at qualifying businesses.
