This bill proposes a supplemental appropriation of $500,000 from the General Fund to the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (DMVA) specifically for the New Jersey SOS Veterans Stakeholders Group. This group is dedicated to supporting veterans by offering various services, including financial assistance, housing support, emergency transportation, and benefits counseling, all aimed at enhancing the quality of life for veterans in the community.

In the current appropriations act for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023, the bill replaces a previous allocation to the Catholic Charities, Diocese of Paterson-SOS Veterans Unmet Needs Fund with the new appropriation for the New Jersey SOS Veterans Stakeholders Group. The total Grants-in-Aid appropriation for Veterans Program Support is thus adjusted to reflect this new allocation of $500,000. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
