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 specifies the allocation of these funds, stating that the distribution will be subject to the approval of the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting. The amendments include the insertion of "GRANTS-IN-AID" in the appropriations section and the removal of the previous designation of the Jewish Federation of New Jersey. This change aims to streamline the funding process and ensure that the financial support for community security initiatives is effectively managed and distributed among the various Jewish Federations in New Jersey.
