Requires BPU to review and report on rates and revenues of electric public utilities that use smart meters.

This bill requires New Jersey's Board of Public Utilities to examine how electric utility rates and revenues have changed after utilities install smart meters. The review will compare billing rates and revenue amounts collected before and after smart meter installation for each utility company using this technology. Within six months of the bill taking effect, the Board must submit a written report of its findings to the Governor and the Legislature. The bill applies specifically to electric public utilities that use smart meters for billing purposes and will expire once the required report is submitted.
