The "Healthy and Affordable Construction for Tomorrow Act."
S 3066 prohibits the combustion of high-emission fossil fuels (defined as substances emitting 25+ kg CO₂ per million BTU) in new buildings under seven stories starting 12 months after enactment, expanding to all new buildings after 36 months. It exempts emergency systems, emergency facilities, and commercial kitchens but requires these areas to be "all-electric ready" for future conversion. The bill mandates a joint report on utility rate adjustments and allows municipalities to enforce stricter local standards than the state. This directly affects new construction developers and builders of residential, commercial, and mixed-use buildings in New Jersey.
