Concerns distribution of 9-1-1 System and Emergency Response Trust Fund Account.

This bill amends New Jersey's 9-1-1 System and Emergency Response Trust Fund Account to add two specific funding purposes: (1) costs for recruiting and retaining first responders, and (2) five percent of annual funds to the New Jersey EMS Task Force (a nonprofit providing emergency medical services). The fund, which already covers 9-1-1 system operations, emergency training, and state emergency equipment costs, now explicitly includes first responder recruitment as a priority. This change directly affects first responders and the EMS Task Force by dedicating new state funds to support their staffing and operations. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
