Requires legislative approval for energy master plan to become State policy.
This bill requires New Jersey's Legislature to formally approve the state's Energy Master Plan (EMP) within six months for it to become binding state policy. The EMP, which outlines goals for energy production, distribution, and conservation, is currently prepared and adopted by an energy committee but would now need legislative approval to take effect. Without this approval, the EMP would not be considered official state policy. This change ensures the Legislature has a direct role in adopting the state's energy strategy, adding a formal step to the existing planning process.
