Provides reimbursement to volunteer emergency service organizations for expenses incurred in response to certain false alarms; makes appropriations.
This bill requires New Jersey to reimburse volunteer emergency service organizations (like fire departments and ambulance squads) for costs incurred when responding to false alarms at State psychiatric hospitals, developmental centers, or correctional facilities. It mandates that the Department of Health reimburse organizations for equipment/vehicle expenses related to false alarms at psychiatric facilities, while the Department of Corrections handles reimbursement for correctional facility false alarms. The bill specifies that reimbursement applies only to false alarms (defined as unnecessary emergency responses not caused by uncontrollable natural events) and does not affect volunteers' status. It also appropriates annual General Fund money to both departments to cover these reimbursements.
