Bill overview
This bill creates a grant program within the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs (DCA) to help install suicide deterrents like nets and barriers on structures identified as high-risk locations, such as bridges and parking garages. The program will provide $10 million in funding and requires the DCA to study effective deterrent methods and report its findings publicly. If building a deterrent isn't feasible, grants can be used for alternative prevention measures.
