Requires electric public utility to reimburse customer for cost of spoiled food and prescription medicine resulting from service outage more than 48 hours after end of storm.
This bill requires New Jersey electric utilities to reimburse residential customers for the actual cost of spoiled food or prescription medicine caused by extended power outages lasting more than 48 hours after a major storm or natural disaster. Customers must submit an itemized list and proof of loss (like receipts or photos) to claim reimbursement. Utilities must create an online application system for claims within 90 days of the bill taking effect. The policy directly affects households impacted by prolonged outages, ensuring they can recover costs for essential items that spoil without refrigeration.
