Establishes "Resident Firefighter Grant Program" in Division of Fire Safety.
This bill establishes New Jersey's "Resident Firefighter Grant Program" within the Division of Fire Safety. It provides grants to fire districts to create or expand resident firefighter programs, where firefighters perform duties (like training and emergency calls) in exchange for free housing. The program requires a minimum $5 million annual state appropriation, with funds used for dormitory construction, kitchen facilities, and incentives for resident firefighters. Grants must be distributed fairly across northern, central, and southern regions of the state.
