Requires electric public utilities to conduct wellness checks in age-restricted communities during power outages.

This bill (A4787) requires electric utilities in New Jersey to conduct wellness checks for residents in age-restricted communities (55+ communities) who rely on medical devices needing electricity, such as oxygen concentrators or ventilators, during power outages. Utilities must maintain an annual confidential registry of these residents, prioritize restoring power within one hour of an outage, and conduct wellness checks within four hours if power isn't restored. If residents lack backup power, utilities must provide portable generators or assist with relocation to powered facilities. The law applies to all electric public utilities serving affected communities and mandates collaboration with local officials and healthcare providers.
