Bill Summary

Creates Code Red alert pilot program to shelter at-risk individuals during hot weather.

AI Summary

This bill creates a three-year pilot program for counties in New Jersey to establish a "Code Red" alert system to shelter at-risk individuals, such as those living outdoors or in poorly insulated settings, during hot weather. The bill defines key terms, requires county emergency management coordinators to coordinate with municipalities to develop consistent alert plans, and directs the State Office of Emergency Management to submit a report on the success and challenges of the pilot program. The bill also provides legal protections for those carrying out or participating in the Code Red alert plan. After the conclusion of the pilot program, counties can seek reimbursement from the state for administrative costs.
