Establishes fund to reimburse municipalities for police costs related to crowding at MVC sites; appropriates $500,000.
This bill creates a state fund to reimburse New Jersey municipalities for police costs incurred while managing crowds and traffic at Motor Vehicles Commission locations during the COVID-19 emergency period. The legislation appropriates $500,000 from federal relief funds to the Division of Local Government Services, which will administer reimbursement applications submitted by municipalities. The fund allows up to five percent of its balance to cover administrative costs, and the act applies retroactively from March 9, 2020, until the conclusion of the declared public health emergency.
