A 3481 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires electric, gas, and water public utilities to provide bill credits to volunteer fire companies, first aid, rescue, and emergency squads, and nonprofit homeless and domestic violence assistance organizations.

This bill requires New Jersey electric, gas, and water utilities to provide bill credits for distribution service charges to specific organizations. It directly affects volunteer fire companies, first aid/rescue squads, and nonprofit homeless or domestic violence assistance groups that operate facilities served by these utilities. The credit amount - set as a percentage of the distribution charge by the Board of Public Utilities - would appear on each billing cycle. The policy changes the billing structure for these organizations, reducing their utility costs without altering the underlying service rates.
