Bill Summary
This bill provides that in the event that a state of emergency is declared due to the failure to enact a general appropriation law by the deadline prescribed by Article VIII, Section II, paragraph 2 of the New Jersey Constitution, the safety inspections of existing transportation infrastructure and newly constructed transportation infrastructure that are funded by the New Jersey Transportation Trust Fund Authority, will continue to be funded. All State employees that have been designated as necessary to conduct safety inspections are to be considered essential personnel.
AI Summary
This bill ensures that safety inspections for transportation projects, both existing and new, will continue to be funded even if a state of emergency is declared because the state failed to pass its main budget, known as a general appropriation law, by the deadline set in the New Jersey Constitution. The New Jersey Transportation Trust Fund Authority, which funds these projects, will keep providing money for these crucial safety checks. Furthermore, any state employees identified as necessary to perform these inspections will be considered essential personnel, meaning their work is vital and must continue regardless of the emergency.
