Requires electric public utility to submit proposal to BPU detailing utility's plan to harden its electric distribution substations to protect against criminal attacks.
New Jersey Assembly Bill A813 requires electric public utilities operating distribution substations (under 69 kilovolts) to submit detailed security plans to the Board of Public Utilities (BPU) within 180 days. These plans must outline how the utility will strengthen substations to protect against criminal attacks. The BPU must review each plan within 180 days, determine feasibility, and order implementation within one year if approved. The bill directly affects all utilities owning such substations across the state, mandating concrete security planning without specifying exact protective measures.
