This bill proposes a supplemental appropriation of $2,500,000 to the organization Salvation and Social Justice for the purpose of funding the Return and Restore program, which is administered by the Trenton Restorative Street Team (TRST). The funding is intended to support efforts aimed at reducing gang-related activities, gun violence, and recidivism among formerly incarcerated individuals in Trenton. The TRST team comprises trained outreach workers, counselors, intervention specialists, community organizers, and individuals with personal experience in the corrections system, all working together to mediate conflicts and prevent violence in schools and communities.

The bill includes specific legal language that establishes the appropriation from the General Fund and designates the funds for the Salvation and Social Justice organization. It also states that the appropriated amount shall be used notwithstanding any contrary laws or regulations, ensuring that the funding is directed specifically to the TRST for the operation of the Return and Restore program. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
