Requires electric public utilities to provide priority service restoration to age-restricted communities after major events.
This bill requires electric utilities in New Jersey to prioritize restoring power to age-restricted communities (developments for residents 55+ years old) after major events causing extended outages. Utilities must annually ask residential customers if they live in such communities; those who confirm become eligible for priority restoration. The Board of Public Utilities must create rules allowing this priority while ensuring it doesn't divert resources from critical public safety efforts. The law takes effect 60 days after enactment.
