Amends Constitution to dedicate money credited to the "9-1-1 System and Emergency Response Trust Fund Account" to maintain 9-1-1 system and emergency response.
This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to ensure funds in New Jersey's "9-1-1 System and Emergency Response Trust Fund Account" are used exclusively for maintaining the 9-1-1 system and emergency response services. It mandates that all revenues collected under specific statutes must be dedicated solely to eligible costs like emergency response equipment, training, communications operations, and federal compliance requirements. The amendment explicitly prohibits the state from borrowing, appropriating, or using these funds for any other purpose. This directly affects how the state manages and allocates dedicated 9-1-1 funding, preventing diversion to unrelated state budget needs.
