Requires public utility to charge volunteer emergency service organization residential rate.

This bill requires New Jersey public utilities to charge volunteer emergency service organizations (like fire departments, ambulance squads, and rescue teams) the lower residential electricity or gas rate for their main facility, instead of the higher commercial rate, if the residential rate is cheaper. It defines these organizations as those relying on volunteers to provide emergency services. Utilities must create a simple certification process with the Board of Public Utilities for organizations to qualify for the residential rate. The law takes effect immediately upon passage.
