New Jersey A1009 excludes emergency response personnel salaries and wages from municipal appropriations cap.

New Jersey A1009 amends the state's budget law to exclude salaries and wages for emergency response personnel from the municipal appropriations cap. This includes police officers, firefighters, paramedics, and members of an ambulance team, rescue squad, or mobile intensive care unit. The bill allows municipalities to budget these salaries and wages without being subject to the 2.5% cap on budget increases. This change applies to municipal budgets adopted following the effective date of the act.
