This bill amends the Fiscal Year 2025 annual appropriations act to reallocate funding for Community Security Initiatives specifically to the Jewish Federation of Southern New Jersey. The current appropriations act allocates $1.5 million for these initiatives but designates the funds to the Jewish Federation of New Jersey, which is not the official name of the organization. The bill corrects this by assigning the distribution of the funds to the Jewish Federation of Southern New Jersey, ensuring that the funds are distributed in equal amounts to each Jewish Federation in the state to support their community security efforts.
Additionally, the bill introduces new legal language that mandates the allocation of these funds to the Jewish Federation of Southern New Jersey, overriding any conflicting laws or regulations. This provision is intended to streamline the funding process and ensure that the financial support reaches the intended recipients effectively, subject to the approval of the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
