A 2734 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Reallocates $5 million in certain FY 2024 appropriations to provide funding for Burlington County - Animal Shelter.

This bill redirects $5 million in state funds from a children's health program to provide immediate funding for the Burlington County Animal Shelter. It amends the FY 2024 state budget by shifting money originally allocated to "Nemours Children’s Health" (under the Department of Health) to a new line item for the shelter (under the Department of Community Affairs). The change provides dedicated funding for the shelter’s operations without requiring new tax revenue or creating new programs. This is a budget reallocation, not a new legislative policy.
