Prohibits sewerage authorities, municipal authorities, and local units of government from charging interest on unpaid sewer fees and charges attributable to State or local entities, including housing authorities.
This bill prohibits sewerage authorities, municipal authorities, and local government units in New Jersey from charging interest on unpaid sewer fees and charges owed by the State, local governments, or their agencies (including housing authorities). It amends existing laws to clarify that interest cannot be charged on these specific unpaid amounts, while allowing interest to be charged on fees owed by private entities. The bill specifically targets sewerage service charges and aims to prevent financial penalties on government properties and entities. This change affects how government entities manage their sewer fees, reducing financial burdens on public entities that might otherwise face interest charges.
