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 appropriates the funds from the General Fund and designates them for the Grants-in-Aid category under the Department of Community Affairs. It also states that the appropriated amount shall be provided to the TRST to facilitate the operation of the Return and Restore program, notwithstanding any contrary laws or regulations. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
