New Jersey S610 establishes a grant program for emergency services providers affected by COVID-19.
New Jersey S610 creates the Emergency Services Assistance Grant Program within the Department of Health, allocating $10 million from federal COVID-19 relief funds. This program aims to provide grants to volunteer fire companies and emergency squads that have faced financial difficulties due to reduced fundraising caused by COVID-19 restrictions. The Commissioner of Health will develop an application process and criteria for ranking submissions, with grant amounts determined by previous fundraising activity. The act takes effect immediately and expires upon the distribution of the funds.
