S 2841 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires DMVA establish veterans memorial home emergency hotline.

This bill (S 2841) requires New Jersey's Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (DMVA) to establish an emergency hotline for veterans living in state-operated veterans memorial homes. The hotline would directly serve veterans residing at the Menlo Park, Vineland, and Paramus memorial homes. The bill amends state law (N.J.S.38A:3-6) to mandate this specific emergency communication service. The key provision is the creation of a dedicated phone line for urgent needs, with no additional details provided about operational specifics. This is a procedural requirement focused on improving emergency access for veterans in these facilities.
