Requires electric public utility to reimburse residential or commercial customer for cost of certain spoiled items resulting from service outage more than 48 hours after end of storm.

New Jersey bill A2883 requires electric utilities to reimburse residential customers up to $540 for spoiled food or prescription medicine and commercial customers up to $10,700 for spoiled perishable goods after power outages exceeding 48 hours following a major weather event. Customers must submit itemized lists and proof of loss (like receipts or photos), and utilities must create online reimbursement systems within 90 days. Utilities cannot recover these costs through customer rates or include them in rate base calculations. The bill directly affects homeowners, businesses, and utilities during extended outages caused by storms or other major events.
