Requires certain electric public utilities to file emergency response plan with BPU.

This bill requires New Jersey's investor-owned electric companies to submit annual emergency response plans to the Board of Public Utilities (BPU) by May 15 each year. The plans must detail procedures for restoring power after widespread outages, including staff responsibilities, customer communication methods, medical electricity needs documentation, safety protocols, crew deployment, and equipment planning. Companies failing to file plans face $1,000 daily fines, while those violating BPU-established service restoration standards risk up to $10,000 per day in penalties (capped at $1 million per incident). Fines collected fund grants for municipalities to maintain public rights-of-way near power infrastructure, reducing future outage risks through activities like tree trimming.
