This bill proposes a supplemental appropriation of $615,000 to the New Jersey Department of Human Services (DHS) specifically for a grant to the NJ 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 already established 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, providing essential human services information and referral programs statewide. The bill aims to support the operational needs of this service, which was established following the Federal Communications Commission's authorization of the 2-1-1 designation for such programs in 2000. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
