Makes supplemental appropriation of $500,000 to DOH for Huntington's Disease Grant Program.
This bill adds $500,000 in supplemental funding to New Jersey's Huntington's Disease Grant Program within the Department of Health. The funds will support grants to institutions of higher education, non-profits, and New Jersey-based research organizations for services including pre-symptomatic testing, neurology care, counseling, and disease management. It directly benefits approximately 900-1,200 New Jersey residents living with Huntington's disease and an estimated 7,000 at-risk individuals. The supplemental appropriation increases the program's total FY2023 funding from $200,437 to $700,437. The bill does not change eligibility but expands existing support for medical care and counseling.
