Creates "Shark River Bridge Study Commission" and "Shark River Bridge Impacted Business Aid Program."

This bill creates a "Shark River Bridge Study Commission" to analyze the economic impact of potential bridge closures on local businesses and develop recommendations for future aid. The commission, composed of eight members including legislative representatives, state agency heads, and local business owners from Belmar and Avon-by-the-Sea, must submit a report within 18 months detailing affected businesses, recommended grant sizes, and total funding needs. Based on this report, the New Jersey Economic Development Authority will establish a grant program to help businesses cover operational costs during bridge closures. The program will award competitive grants to eligible businesses that apply with specific documentation about their closure-related impacts and plans for using funds. This directly affects businesses in the Shark River Bridge area of Monmouth County, particularly in Belmar and Avon-by-the-Sea.
