Requires electric public utilities to establish toll-free telephone number to be used by public for reporting damaged equipment and dangerous vegetation.
This bill requires New Jersey's investor-owned electric utilities to create and maintain a toll-free phone number for the public to report two specific hazards: damaged power lines or equipment, and trees or vegetation touching power lines. Utilities must list this number on every customer bill and on their website's homepage. The law directly affects both the public (by providing a reporting tool) and the utilities (by mandating this communication system). It takes effect immediately after enactment, with a 60-day delay before full implementation.
