S 4352 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Prohibits public utilities from assessing surcharges and certain fees.

This bill prohibits New Jersey public utilities from charging three specific fees to customers: (1) surcharges for payment processing, (2) fees for choosing one-time payments instead of automatic payments, and (3) fees for requesting paper statements instead of paperless billing. It directly affects residential utility customers who pay bills manually or opt for paper statements. The bill defines "surcharge" as an extra fee added to cover third-party payment processing costs. The law takes effect immediately upon passage.
