Introduced Session

This bill supplements the FY 2025 Appropriations Act with an additional amount of spending authority from the General Fund that totals $142.6 million. The bill also inserts several language provisions into the FY 2025 Appropriations Act related to certain items of spending. Department of Community Affairs: This bill appropriates an additional $4 million in Grants-in-Aid funding to the New Jersey Re-entry Corporation for re-entry services. The supplemental funding authorized under the bill would be in addition to the $12.6 million initially included in the FY 2025 Appropriations Act. Department of Health: The bill appropriates $8 million to AtlantiCare for various capital improvements. Department of Human Services: This bill appropriates $2.39 million in State Aid funding for the State Supplemental Security Income Administrative Fee account. The additional funding is needed due to an increased number of recipients for the Supplemental Security Income Program, leading to higher than projected administrative fees. In addition, the bill appropriates $1 million in State Aid funding for the State Supplemental Security Income Program due to higher than anticipated shared costs for the State Rental Assistance Program, which is administered by the Department of Community Affairs. This bill also appropriates $15 million in Grants-in-Aid funding for the Community Outreach Program for the Prevention of Opioid Addiction and Community Stabilization to educate communities about the impacts of opioid addiction and related harm mitigation activities.

Interdepartmental Accounts: This bill appropriates $14.1 million in Capital Construction for Capital Improvements, Contingency to support estimated shortfalls on projects being funded with federal funds, including the Justice Complex HVAC and the Newark MVC New Agency Building projects.
