Establishes limits on zoning restrictions for certain electric battery storage equipment installation.

New Jersey's S 219 streamlines approval for installing small electric battery storage systems at homes and businesses. At residential properties, these systems are classified as a permitted accessory use, eliminating the need for zoning variances. For commercial/industrial sites, the bill requires only a zoning permit (bypassing site plan reviews) if the installation meets bulk, safety, and construction code standards. The bill also mandates the Commissioner of Community Affairs to publish a model ordinance for installation standards within 30 days of enactment. This directly affects homeowners installing battery systems and businesses seeking to add storage equipment without lengthy municipal approvals.
