S 1855 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires electric public utilities to establish toll-free telephone number to be used by public for reporting damaged equipment and dangerous vegetation.

S 1855 requires New Jersey electric utilities (like investor-owned power companies) to create and maintain a toll-free phone number for the public to report broken power lines or trees/vegetation threatening power infrastructure. Utilities must list this number on every customer bill and on their website. The bill directly affects residents who can report hazards and the utilities responsible for maintaining power infrastructure. It takes effect immediately, with a 60-day delay for implementation.
