Requires BPU to impose penalties during audits.

This bill requires New Jersey's Board of Public Utilities (BPU) to impose a $500 daily penalty on public utilities that fail to provide sufficient information for an audit after being notified of the deficiency. It directly affects electric, gas, and water utilities subject to BPU audits, ensuring they promptly cooperate during the audit process. The key provision mandates the BPU to assess this penalty starting the day after notification, addressing delays caused by incomplete information in past audits. This change aims to streamline audit completion without altering existing penalties for other compliance failures.
