Establishes Health Equity Access and Leadership Fund; appropriates $25 million from General Fund, and allocates portion of Health Care Subsidy Fund revenues, to fund.
This bill establishes the Health Equity Access and Leadership (HEAL) Fund within New Jersey's existing Health Care Subsidy Fund to support underserved communities. It appropriates $25 million from the state General Fund and requires annual allocations of at least 0.1% of projected Health Care Subsidy Fund revenues to the HEAL Fund. The fund will provide competitive grants to community-based health care organizations serving populations facing barriers to care (including those based on race, immigration status, or lack of insurance) that have not received federal funding in the past year. These grants aim to maintain essential health services for vulnerable groups, with the Department of Health required to report annually on fund usage and outcomes.
