AI Summary

This bill establishes the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Provider Safety Grant Program within the New Jersey Department of Health (DOH) and appropriates $10 million from the federal Coronavirus State Fiscal Recovery Fund to fund the program. The program will provide one-time, competitive grants to EMS providers in the state to offset the costs of purchasing personal protective equipment, protective clothing, cleaning equipment, and other virus protection equipment. Eligible grant applicants are current EMS providers in New Jersey, and the DOH commissioner will develop an application process, review criteria, and procedures for awarding the grants, with a focus on providers with the greatest need and impact from COVID-19.
