A 4058 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes Emergency Medical Services Provider Safety Grant Program in DOH; appropriates $10 million.

This bill establishes a one-time grant program to help New Jersey emergency medical services (EMS) providers afford safety equipment. It appropriates $10 million from federal coronavirus relief funds to cover costs for personal protective equipment (like masks and gloves), protective clothing, cleaning supplies, and other virus-related safety gear. EMS providers must apply competitively through an online process, with funding prioritized based on need (e.g., service calls, personnel numbers, and pandemic impact). The program expires once the $10 million is spent, and the state health commissioner must report annually on grants awarded and equipment purchased.
