S 610 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes Emergency Services Assistance Grant Program in DOH; appropriates $10 million.

This bill creates the Emergency Services Assistance Grant Program within New Jersey's Department of Health to provide financial aid to volunteer emergency service groups affected by pandemic-related funding losses. It directly helps volunteer fire companies, first aid squads, and ambulance services that lost fundraising revenue due to pandemic mandates. The program awards grants based on documented past fundraising activity, using $10 million in federal pandemic funds, with applications processed by the Health Commissioner. The program expires once all $10 million is distributed.
