A 3637 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes annual 9-1-1 PSAP County Grants.

This bill establishes an annual grant program to fund county public safety answering points (PSAPs), which are local emergency call centers handling 9-1-1 calls. It allocates 10% of the $0.90 fee collected from telephone bills (under existing law) to support PSAPs in purchasing, upgrading, maintaining, and operating essential emergency call technology. The Office of Information Technology, with input from the Office of Emergency Management, will administer the grants and submit annual reports to the Governor and Legislature. The program directly affects New Jersey counties by providing recurring funding to modernize their emergency response systems.
