This bill amends the Fiscal Year 2025 annual appropriations act to reallocate $2 million in funding for asbestos remediation at the Old Courthouse from Hudson County to Jersey City. The current law specifies that the funds are designated for Hudson County, but the amendment changes the recipient to Jersey City, which is where the Old Courthouse is located.
The specific legal language changes include the insertion of "STATE AID" and the allocation of "$2,000,000" for "City of Jersey City Old Courthouse Asbestos Remediation (PTRF)," while deleting the reference to "Hudson County." This adjustment aims to streamline the funding process for the necessary asbestos remediation work at the courthouse, ensuring that the funds are directed to the appropriate local government entity responsible for the project. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
