A 4455 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Permits DVA to receive voluntary contributions for veteran suicide prevention public service announcements.

This bill allows New Jersey's Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) to accept voluntary donations, grants, or gifts from the public or private sectors specifically for creating veteran suicide prevention public service announcements (PSAs). Funds received under this bill must be deposited into a special nonlapsing fund managed by the State Treasurer. These funds can only be used to produce and distribute PSAs aimed at preventing veteran suicide, with no other purposes permitted. The bill directly affects the DVA's ability to secure external funding for this targeted prevention effort, benefiting veterans through expanded public awareness campaigns.
