A 2894 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

"Electricity Bill Transparency Act"; requires electric utilities to separately list amounts of certain charges.

This bill requires New Jersey electric utilities to list the amount of state sales tax separately on customer bills, distinct from other charges like energy costs or fees. It directly affects all residential and commercial electricity customers in New Jersey who receive utility bills. The key provision mandates that utilities must itemize the specific tax amount attributable to each customer’s bill, as specified under the state’s Sales and Use Tax Act. The bill does not change tax rates or create new fees, only clarifying how existing tax amounts must be displayed. This transparency measure aims to help customers clearly see how much of their bill is tax versus service charges.
