This bill proposes a supplemental appropriation of $615,000 to the Department of Human Services (DHS) specifically for a grant to the New Jersey 2-1-1 Partnership. The funding is categorized under the Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services as part of the Grants-In-Aid program. The bill outlines that this amount is in addition to the appropriations made under the annual appropriations act for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026.

The NJ 2-1-1 Partnership has been designated as the sole administrator of the 2-1-1 dialing code in New Jersey since 2002, following its authorization by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in 2000. This service provides essential human services information and referral programs statewide, and the appropriation aims to support its continued operation. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
