S 1182 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Prohibits sewerage authorities, municipal authorities, and local units of government from charging interest on unpaid sewer fees and charges attributable to State or local entities, including housing authorities.

This New Jersey bill (S 1182) prohibits sewerage authorities from charging interest on unpaid sewer fees owed by the State, local governments, or their agencies (including housing authorities). It amends existing law to explicitly state that no interest shall be charged on these specific unpaid fees, directly affecting government entities that own or operate properties subject to sewer service. The key provision removes the requirement for authorities to impose monthly interest (previously 1.5%) on delinquent payments from these governmental entities, while maintaining other collection mechanisms like liens for non-governmental accounts. This changes the existing statutory requirement under Section 21 of P.L.1946, c.138.
