A 3010 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Provides reimbursement to volunteer emergency service organizations for expenses incurred in response to certain false alarms; makes appropriations.

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Health and Department of Corrections to reimburse volunteer emergency service organizations for expenses related to false alarms at specific state facilities. It covers costs for damaged or used emergency equipment and vehicles when volunteers respond to alarms that don't involve actual emergencies at state psychiatric hospitals, developmental centers, or correctional facilities. The reimbursement is in addition to any existing penalties for false alarms and does not affect volunteers' status. The state must appropriate funds annually from the General Fund to cover these reimbursements.
