A 2933 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Supplemental appropriation of $2,000,000 to New Jersey Division of State Police establishing temporary unit to monitor certain social media posts and provide support to local police.

This bill allocates $2 million to create a temporary New Jersey State Police unit that monitors social media for unpermitted gatherings of 500+ people on public beaches in shore communities during summer (Memorial Day to Labor Day). The unit will provide direct support to local police to manage these events and maintain public safety. It directly affects shore municipalities, their law enforcement agencies, and businesses relying on summer tourism. The funding aims to prevent safety risks from large, unapproved gatherings while supporting local response efforts.
