A 2754 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes certain requirements for public utility rate increases.

Bill A2754 requires public utilities in New Jersey to provide clearer notice to customers before rate increases take effect. Specifically, utilities must send affected customers a plain-language summary of the Board of Public Utilities' final decision on rate petitions 30 days before new rates begin if approved, or within 14 days if denied. The bill also mandates that utilities notify customers of rate increase petitions via bill inserts or local newspaper ads, including the filing's purpose and impact. Additionally, it requires the Board to respond in writing to public questions asked during rate hearings within 14 days after the final hearing. This bill focuses on transparency and customer communication for all public utilities covered under New Jersey law.
