A 2252 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes the "New Jersey COVID-19 Vaccine Outreach Commission" and appropriates $9 million.

This bill creates the "New Jersey COVID-19 Vaccine Outreach Commission" with 27 members representing state leadership, legislative caucuses, health officials, local governments, community organizations, and business groups. The commission must develop and administer a statewide vaccine outreach strategy focused on increasing vaccination rates, including school programs, partnerships with community groups, a multilingual media campaign, and targeted efforts for communities with historically low vaccination rates. It appropriates $9 million from the General Fund for this purpose, requires an interim report within six months and a final report by June 2022, and expires on January 1, 2023. The strategy directly affects all New Jersey residents, with specific emphasis on ensuring equitable access for underserved populations.
