S 2653 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires certain customer identification to be presented to electric power or gas supplier if customer switches services.

S 2653 requires residential customers in New Jersey to provide specific identification when switching electric or gas suppliers. To switch providers, customers must present either government-issued photo ID or non-photo ID plus a secondary form (like a utility bill, bank statement, or credit card). The new supplier must verify this ID and attest to the utility company, eliminating the need for customers to provide account numbers when ID is shown. This applies to all residential switches between electric power suppliers, basic generation providers, or gas suppliers, effective 60 days after enactment. The bill aims to streamline switching while verifying customer identity for security.
