Requires annual General Fund appropriation to DMVA for purposes of base realignment and closure.
This bill requires New Jersey to appropriate up to $200,000 annually from the state budget to the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (DMVA) to help preserve military installations if the federal government proposes base realignment or closure. It mandates that any contracts with lobbyists or government affairs agents for this purpose must follow a competitive bidding process every two years. The DMVA must also submit a public annual report detailing all expenditures from these funds, including receipts and vendor information, by July 15 each year. The report will be posted on the DMVA website as a public record.
