Requires electric public utilities to establish toll-free telephone number to be used by public for reporting damaged equipment and dangerous vegetation.
This bill requires New Jersey electric utilities to create and maintain a toll-free phone number for the public to report damaged power lines or dangerous vegetation (like trees touching power lines). Utilities must list this number on every customer bill and prominently on their website. It directly affects residents who can now easily report safety hazards to their utility company. The law takes effect immediately after enactment, with a 60-day delay for implementation. The bill focuses on improving public safety reporting through clear communication channels.
