Bill Summary

Authorizes local governments to provide voluntary contributions to certain nonprofit veterans' organizations.

AI Summary

This bill amends existing New Jersey state law to allow counties and municipalities to provide voluntary financial contributions of up to $70,000 annually to nonprofit veterans' organizations. These contributions must be used to address veteran-related issues such as housing assistance, food security, mental health and suicide prevention, career transitions, transportation, and veteran family resources. The bill requires that these veterans' organizations qualify as 501(c)(19) tax-exempt organizations under the Internal Revenue Code and provide a detailed accounting to the local government of how the funds were used in the previous year. The legislation defines a nonprofit veterans' organization as an entity that provides support services to those who have served in the United States armed forces, covering physical, emotional, and medical needs. This bill builds upon existing provisions that allow local governments to contribute to emergency and rescue organizations, expanding support mechanisms for veterans at the local level.
