A 2313 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Makes FY2025 supplemental appropriation of $10 million for Unmanned Aircraft Systems Grant Program.

This bill adds $10 million to New Jersey's FY2025 budget specifically for a new grant program under the Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness. It directly provides funding to state and local law enforcement agencies to purchase equipment or training needed to address unidentifiable drone sightings and ensure compliance with drone regulations. The key provision creates a dedicated grant stream for officials to safeguard critical infrastructure against potential drone-related threats. The funding responds to recent increases in unexplained drone activity across the state's airspace.
