SJR 148 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Respectfully urges Congress to pass "Guarding Ratepayers from Imposed EV Charging Directives Act" to repeal certain federal standards tied to electric vehicle charging programs.

This New Jersey legislative resolution urges Congress to pass the "Guarding Ratepayers from Imposed EV Charging Directives Act," which would remove specific federal rules related to electric vehicle charging programs. The bill aims to prevent the costs associated with upgrading infrastructure for these programs from being added to residential electricity bills. By repealing portions of the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978, the proposed federal law seeks to stop utilities from passing these expenses onto ratepayers through delivery charges. This measure directly affects New Jersey residents who currently see rising utility costs linked to state-mandated clean energy and electric vehicle initiatives. The resolution does not change state law but serves as a formal request to the federal government to alter existing regulations.
