Requires at least one member of BPU to reside in either Atlantic, Cape May, Monmouth, or Ocean County.

This bill changes the appointment rules for New Jersey's Board of Public Utilities (BPU). It requires that any new appointee to the BPU, or at least one existing board member, must reside in Atlantic, Cape May, Monmouth, or Ocean County. The requirement applies to all future appointments after the bill takes effect. This directly affects who can serve on the BPU and ensures geographic representation from these four coastal counties.
