S 3726 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires electric public utilities to take certain actions in event of outages in age-restricted communities.

This bill (S 3726) requires New Jersey electric public utilities to provide specific services during extended power outages (over 24 hours) in age-restricted communities - defined as developments for residents 55+ years old. Utilities must set up temporary water stations, climate-controlled cooling/heating stations with seating, and device charging stations until power is restored. These requirements apply directly to utilities serving affected communities and aim to address immediate needs during prolonged outages. The bill defines "extended power outage" and "age-restricted community" to clarify its scope.
