Suspends sales and use tax and societal benefits charge on electric and gas public utility bills during four-month period.

This bill temporarily suspends two charges on residential electric and gas utility bills: the state sales and use tax (under the Sales and Use Tax Act) and the societal benefits charge (under section 12 of P.L.1999, c.23). It applies directly to New Jersey households receiving utility service, exempting them from these fees from June 1 to September 30, 2025. The suspension aims to provide relief from anticipated bill increases, including a 17.2-20.2% residential rate hike starting in June 2025. The bill expires on October 1, 2025, and does not alter the underlying utility rates themselves.
