This bill reallocates unspent funds from the Fiscal Year 2025 appropriation originally designated for the City of Paterson's Recreation Center Capital Improvements to the New Jersey Community Development Corporation (NJCDC) for a youth center project in the same city. Specifically, it adds a provision to the Fiscal Year 2026 appropriations act that allows the unexpended balance of the $2 million allocated to the City of Paterson to be reassigned to NJCDC, contingent upon the approval of the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting.

The bill does not increase overall appropriations for Fiscal Year 2026, as it simply reallocates existing funds. In addition to the reallocated amount, the NJCDC had previously received $5.13 million in Fiscal Year 2025 for similar purposes, indicating a continued commitment to youth development initiatives in Paterson. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
