Re-locates certain energy incentive and all utility assistance programs to new Office of Energy Management; establishes common application platform for utility assistance programs.
This bill creates a new Office of Energy Management within the New Jersey Department of the Treasury to handle all state energy incentive programs (which promote energy efficiency for homes and businesses) and utility assistance programs (which provide financial help for utility bills to residents). It requires the office to develop a single online application platform allowing residents to apply for multiple utility assistance programs at once, check eligibility, submit required documents, and track application status. The bill transfers administration of these programs from current agencies - including the Board of Public Utilities, Department of Community Affairs, and Department of Human Services - to the new office to streamline services and reduce duplication.
