A 4392 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes Civil Air Patrol Fund to be supported by annual appropriations of $100,000; appropriates $100,000.

This bill creates a dedicated "Civil Air Patrol Fund" within New Jersey's Department of Military and Veterans' Affairs. It requires the state to appropriate $100,000 annually from the General Fund to the fund, which can also receive federal grants and public donations. The money must support the New Jersey Wing of the Civil Air Patrol, specifically for programs like cadet STEM/aviation training, search and rescue readiness, disaster relief equipment (including a Redbird Simulator), and volunteer training. Unspent funds carry forward each year, making it a permanent funding source for these state-level Civil Air Patrol activities.
