New Jersey State Funds

The legislation also allocated $2 million to New Jersey Comfort Partners, a utility-administered statewide low-income weatherization program.
  

• The State Treasury's Division of Taxation forwarded $2.52 million from a special utility trust fund dedicated for temporary heating assistance, to New Jersey SHARES, a fuel fund.
