A 3782 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Increases amount of cigarette and other tobacco products tax revenues provided to New Jersey Commission on Cancer Research from $1 million to $4 million; establishes dedicated, non-lapsing Cancer Research Fund.

This bill (A 3782) increases annual funding for New Jersey's Commission on Cancer Research from $1 million to $4 million by redirecting cigarette and tobacco tax revenues. It establishes a permanent, non-lapsing Cancer Research Fund in the Department of the Treasury to hold these funds and any interest earned. The fund must be used exclusively for approved cancer research grants and commission responsibilities, with disbursements managed by the State Treasurer. This directly affects the Commission on Cancer Research, which uses the funds to support cancer research projects across New Jersey.
