Requires public utilities to send certain information concerning rate increases to customers.
This bill (A4501) requires New Jersey public utilities to notify customers directly when filing for rate increases. It mandates that utilities include specific details in the first bill sent after filing, such as the filing summary, reasoning for the increase, its impact on customers, hearing information, and how to submit testimony. Customers can also opt into email alerts about related public hearings. The law applies to all utilities filing rate change petitions with the Board of Public Utilities and takes effect immediately.
