Requires BPU to publish plain language summary of its final decision on rate increase filings.

This bill requires New Jersey's Board of Public Utilities (BPU) to include a plain language summary in its final orders when approving or denying utility rate increase requests. The summary must clearly explain the utility's request, the BPU's reasoning for its decision, the specific rate changes (current vs. new rates and total increase), customer impact, and other key details like the utility's rate of return. It directly affects utility customers by making complex rate decisions easier to understand, especially during periods of rising costs. The BPU must include these summaries in all final rate decision orders, replacing technical jargon with accessible language. The bill does not change how rate decisions are made, only how they are communicated to the public.
