Dedicates certain energy sales and use tax receipts to support utility assistance programs.
This bill directs New Jersey to use excess revenue from energy sales and use taxes (above the 2025 fiscal year level) into the Universal Service Fund. The fund supports utility assistance programs like the Payment Assistance for Gas and Electric Program, which helps low-income households with energy costs. It specifically allocates funds when tax collections exceed the 2025 baseline, ensuring ongoing support for these programs. The policy directly affects utility assistance programs and the households they serve.
