Establishes cybersecurity employment grant program for qualified businesses; appropriates $750,000.

This New Jersey bill creates a grant program to help small to mid-sized businesses hire cybersecurity specialists by providing funding to cover one year of startup salary costs. The program, administered by the Department of Labor and Workforce Development, is designed for businesses with fewer than 500 employees that operate primarily within the state. Companies must apply through a formal process and agree to pay at least the state's mean wage for cybersecurity positions while submitting quarterly reports to verify hiring and spending. The legislation appropriates $750,000 in initial funding and allows the department to seek additional public or private contributions to support the program.
