Establishes cybersecurity employment grant program for qualified businesses; appropriates $750,000.
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. To qualify, businesses must submit proof of eligibility and comply with wage requirements based on state labor data. The Department of Labor and Workforce Development administers the program, requiring quarterly reports from recipients and annual oversight reports to the Governor and Legislature.
