Supplemental appropriation of $50 million to Law Enforcement Unmanned Aircraft Systems Radar Technology Grant Program.
This bill provides $50 million in supplemental funding to create a grant program for New Jersey police departments. The funds will help state and local law enforcement purchase radar technology to detect and track unmanned aircraft systems (drones), specifically addressing unexplained drone sightings near critical infrastructure. The program is administered by the Department of Law and Public Safety and directly supports police agencies seeking equipment to monitor drone activity. This funding responds to increased drone usage in airspace, aiming to enhance safety compliance without specifying new regulations.
