A 2914 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Directs public utility to reimburse municipality for police services required for safe completion of public utility project no later than 60 days after municipality submits bill to public utility.

This bill requires public utilities to reimburse municipalities for actual costs incurred when providing police services during utility projects (like construction or repairs) within 60 days of the municipality submitting a bill. It specifies that reimbursement must occur unless a prior payment agreement exists, and pauses the 60-day clock during negotiations between the parties. The bill also states that these reimbursement costs and any awarded attorney fees in related lawsuits cannot be passed on to utility ratepayers. It applies to all public utility projects requiring municipal police safety services under New Jersey law.
