SR 39 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Urges Congress and Department of Veterans Affairs not to reduce funding for ambulance services for veterans.

This Senate Resolution (SR 39) urges Congress and the Department of Veterans Affairs to maintain current funding levels for ambulance service reimbursements for veterans. It directly affects veterans in New Jersey - 338,012 of whom rely on federal reimbursements to cover ambulance costs averaging $400-$600 per trip. The resolution highlights that proposed funding cuts could create financial barriers for veterans, reduce ambulance services (especially in rural areas with hospital closures), and shift costs to state/local governments without adequate resources. It does not change funding but formally requests federal entities not to reduce existing reimbursement rates.
