A 5513 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Directs BPU to establish public information campaign concerning public utility meter inspection and calibration.

New Jersey Assembly Bill A5513 (introduced March 2025) requires the Board of Public Utilities (BPU) to create a public information campaign about utility meter inspections and calibration. The campaign must inform electric, gas, and water utility customers - directly affecting all residential and business customers - about meter testing requirements, how often meters must be checked, and procedures for disputing billing errors. It mandates clear details on independent meter accuracy verification, dispute timelines, and available resources, delivered through BPU and utility websites, multilingual printed materials (English/Spanish), and a toll-free hotline. The bill focuses on transparency in billing processes without altering utility rates or regulations.
