S 1339 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Prohibits adoption of State and local rules that prohibit use of fossil fuel-powered kitchen appliances.

This bill prohibits New Jersey state agencies, counties, and municipalities from adopting rules or ordinances that ban the installation or use of fossil fuel-powered kitchen appliances (like natural gas stoves or ovens) in residential or commercial kitchens, as long as the appliances meet existing federal and state safety standards. It does not prevent voluntary programs that incentivize switching to electric appliances. The law directly affects homeowners, renters, and businesses that use or install kitchen appliances, ensuring local governments cannot mandate a shift away from gas appliances while allowing incentive programs to encourage electric alternatives. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage.
