Requires BPU to hold monthly in-person or virtual seminars to provides customers with certain information concerning electric power and gas suppliers.
This bill requires the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities to organize monthly seminars, either in-person or virtual, to educate customers about electric power and gas suppliers. The legislation mandates that utility companies provide a standardized one-page information sheet in both English and Spanish when customers switch providers, ensuring the document clearly explains contract terms, pricing, and the risks of unauthorized switching. Additionally, the bill establishes rules prohibiting discrimination in customer acceptance, restricts how optional charges are advertised, and sets uniform credit requirements for residential and small commercial accounts. These measures aim to increase consumer transparency and protect vulnerable customers from unfair marketing practices.
