STATEMENT

���� This bill appropriates
$615,000 to the Department of Human Services for the purpose of awarding a
grant to the NJ 2-1-1 Partnership Operating Aid.

���� In June 2000, the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) authorized the designation of 2-1-1 for human
services information and referral programs on a nationwide basis.� The FCC, in
establishing the 2-1-1 designation, granted community groups the ability to
establish the delivery of information and referral services using this
universal access number on a state-by-state basis.

����
In 2002, the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU)
designated NJ 2-1-1 Partnership as the sole administrator of the 211 dialing
code in New Jersey.� Since then, NJ 2-1-1 Partnership has been providing the
2-1-1 service Statewide.
