This bill amends the FY2024 State aid appropriation to the City of Perth Amboy, allowing the previously allocated $2 million to be used for broader pedestrian safety initiatives rather than being restricted to the construction of a pedestrian bridge. The original appropriation specified the funds for the bridge, but it has since been deemed unfeasible, prompting the need for this legislative change.

The bill includes specific legal language changes, such as the insertion of "STATE AID" and the designation of the funds for "Pedestrian Safety (PTRF)," while deleting references to "Convery Boulevard" and "Bridge." This adjustment enables the City of Perth Amboy to utilize the funds more flexibly for various pedestrian safety projects, enhancing overall community safety. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
