Creates stockpile of protective masks for use by first responders under certain circumstances.
This bill requires New Jersey's Director of the Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness to create and maintain a stockpile of N95 masks and respirators for first responders. Within 180 days, the director must establish a central storage system with regular maintenance and replacement protocols, consulting with emergency management agencies and healthcare groups. The stockpile will specifically support first responders during events like terrorist attacks, military threats, wildfires, or other emergencies involving harmful air pollutants or toxic gases. It directly affects law enforcement officers, firefighters, emergency medical technicians, and the organizations that employ them statewide.
