S 819 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Provides dedicated funding for New Jersey Commission on Cancer Research from Workforce Development Partnership Fund.

S 819 redirects 1% of the Workforce Development Partnership Fund's annual revenues to the New Jersey State Commission on Cancer Research, creating a dedicated and permanent funding source. This replaces the previous funding mechanism (cigarette tax revenues) that had been diverted to other budget needs in recent years. The Commission, established in 1983, uses such funding to support cancer research projects and has historically helped launch over 500 research initiatives and careers in New Jersey. The bill repeals an outdated section of law (P.L.1983, c.6, section 8) that previously directed cigarette tax funds to the Commission.
