A 4631 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Prohibits BPU from hiring certain third-party consultants; requires certain third-party consultants of BPU to disclose list of certain clients.

This bill restricts the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities from hiring third-party consultants who have worked for public utilities within the past 365 days. It also requires consultants hired by the board to disclose a list of public utility clients they have worked with in the previous three years. These disclosures must be published on the websites of the utilities listed, with the board determining the specific format and timing. The measure aims to increase transparency and reduce potential conflicts of interest when the board relies on outside experts for decision-making.
