This bill amends the annual appropriations act for State Fiscal Year 2025, specifically increasing the funding for the Department of Law and Public Safety's Homeland Security and Preparedness program to a total of $18,500,000. This amount includes a specific allocation of $1,500,000 for Community Security Initiatives.
Additionally, the bill introduces a provision that mandates the allocated funds for Community Security Initiatives be distributed to the Jewish Federation of Southern New Jersey. These funds will be divided equally among all Jewish Federations in the state to support their community security efforts, contingent upon the approval of the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting. The act is set to take effect immediately upon approval.
