A 1041 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires newly-constructed grocery stores to have generators.

This bill requires all newly-constructed grocery stores (including supermarkets and convenience stores) to install automatic standby generators.

The Department of Community Affairs will create rules for generator operation, maintenance, and testing. The law applies only to new stores with construction permits pending before its effective date, taking effect immediately.
