S 5021 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Amends Fiscal Year 2026 annual appropriations act to expand authorized use of grant funding for Centenary University.

This bill amends New Jersey's Fiscal Year 2026 appropriations act to change how $1.5 million in state grant funding for Centenary University can be used. Currently restricted to capital improvements (like building repairs), the bill removes this limitation, allowing the university to use the funds for general operational purposes instead. The bill does not increase the total funding amount - it only expands the allowable uses of the existing appropriation. This change directly affects Centenary University's budget flexibility for the 2026 fiscal year.
