Creates "Manufacturing Reboot Program" in EDA to provide financial assistance to certain manufacturing businesses; makes $10 million appropriation to EDA.

S 1239 creates a "Manufacturing Reboot Program" within New Jersey's Economic Development Authority (EDA), providing financial assistance to eligible manufacturing businesses affected by the pandemic. It appropriates $10 million from the state General Fund - $5 million prioritizing businesses producing coronavirus vaccines and $5 million for other healthcare products like PPE or medical devices - to fund grants of $25,000-$150,000 per business. Qualified businesses must operate facilities with over 50% manufacturing equipment, pay above-average salaries with health benefits, and demonstrate market expansion or capacity to pivot to healthcare manufacturing. Grant funds can cover equipment, payroll, or employee training, with businesses required to report quarterly on employment and spending, and the EDA to submit annual program reports to the Governor and Legislature.
