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 funding is intended to support various services aimed at improving the quality of life for veterans, including financial assistance, housing support, emergency transportation, and benefits counseling. The New Jersey SOS Veterans Stakeholders Group also plays a crucial role in connecting and engaging other veteran service providers within the community.

In the current version of the bill, the appropriation replaces a previous allocation that was designated for the Catholic Charities, Diocese of Paterson-SOS Veterans Unmet Needs Fund. The new legal language reflects this change, indicating that the entire $500,000 will now be directed to the New Jersey SOS Veterans Stakeholders Group. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon enactment.
