Establishes electric and gas utility medical baseline program for certain persons.
This bill establishes a medical baseline program for New Jersey electric and gas utilities, creating discounted rates for residential customers with specific medical needs requiring extra energy. It directly affects residents who rely on life support equipment (like respirators or dialysis machines), have paralysis, multiple sclerosis, or other conditions certified by a physician as needing additional heating/cooling. Utilities must provide a discounted rate for the "medical baseline" (extra energy beyond average residential use), notify customers of planned outages in advance, and make the application process accessible via website and bills. The program requires physician certification for eligibility and mandates the Board of Public Utilities to review the medical baseline requirements every three years.
