S 816 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Expands purpose of Traumatic Brain Injury Fund to support transportation costs incurred by eligible individuals in accessing support group meetings.

This bill expands New Jersey's Traumatic Brain Injury Fund to cover transportation costs for eligible individuals with traumatic brain injuries to attend support group meetings. Currently, the fund covers transportation for medical appointments, treatment facilities, and vocational programs. The bill defines "support group meetings" as gatherings where individuals with traumatic brain injuries share information and perspectives about their injuries to improve their well-being. This change ensures the fund can now support transportation to these community-based meetings, which are part of the support network for TBI survivors.
