A 537 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires certain community residential facilities have standby emergency power generators.

This bill requires nonprofit community residences for people with developmental disabilities in New Jersey to install standby emergency power generators during power outages. Facilities starting operations after the bill's effective date must have generators immediately, while existing facilities must install them within 90 days. The utility company covers installation costs, but the facility operator must maintain and regularly test the generator per engineering standards. The Commissioner of Human Services will create regulations to implement these requirements, affecting over 100 such facilities statewide.
