A 2482 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes New Jersey Military Recruit Graduation Assistance Program in DMVA.

This bill establishes New Jersey's Military Recruit Graduation Assistance Program within the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (DMVA). It provides financial assistance to cover travel and related expenses for low-income immediate family members (spouses, parents, children, or siblings) of military recruits to attend boot camp graduation ceremonies. Eligibility requires household income at or below 50% of the median income for similar-sized households in the area. The program requires the DMVA to develop application guidelines, award criteria, and record-keeping procedures, with no application fees and implementation dependent on future legislative funding.
