Establishes limits on zoning restrictions for certain electric battery storage equipment installation.

This bill (A 3911) simplifies zoning rules for installing small electric battery storage systems at homes and businesses in New Jersey. It makes such installations a "permitted use" at residential properties, meaning homeowners don’t need special variances to install them. For commercial/industrial sites, it requires only a basic zoning permit (not site plan reviews) if the installation meets safety codes and doesn’t violate existing property rules. The bill also directs the state to create a model ordinance for installation standards within 30 days, which municipalities may adopt or adapt but cannot override with extra review requirements. The bill is pending before the Assembly Telecommunications and Utilities Committee.
