Bill > S4121

This bill amends the Fiscal Year 2025 annual appropriations act to specifically direct $1,500,000 in Homeland Security funding for Community Security Initiatives to be distributed equally among Jewish Federations in New Jersey, with the Jewish Federation of Southern New Jersey designated as the primary allocator. The bill requires that the funding be used to support security initiatives for Jewish community organizations, and the distribution is subject to approval by the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting. By specifying the allocation method and recipient, this legislation ensures targeted funding for community security efforts, likely in response to increasing concerns about antisemitism and potential threats to Jewish community spaces. The bill takes effect immediately upon approval, which is noted as May 28, 2025, and represents a specific appropriation within the broader Homeland Security and Preparedness budget of the New Jersey Department of Law and Public Safety.
