Requires public utilities to send certain information concerning rate increases to customers.

This New Jersey bill (S 4571) requires public utilities (like gas, electric, or water companies) to notify customers directly when they file a rate increase petition with the Board of Public Utilities. Utilities must include specific details in the first bill after filing: a summary of the request, the reason for it, its impact on customers, hearing information, and how to submit feedback. Customers can also opt into email alerts about related public hearings. The law applies immediately to all affected utilities and their customers in New Jersey.
