Prohibits State from mandating electric heating or water heating systems.
This bill prohibits New Jersey state agencies (including the Department of Community Affairs, Environmental Protection, and Board of Public Utilities) from mandating electric heating or water heating systems as the sole or primary option for buildings - such as homes or businesses - until a specific report is issued. It requires the Department of Community Affairs to hold at least six public hearings across the state within 24 months to gather input on costs, impacts, and environmental effects of electric systems, then submit a report within 30 months. The bill does not block voluntary adoption of electric systems, incentives for their use, or private choices to install them. It directly affects building owners, developers, and state agencies involved in energy regulations.
