Requires certain customer identification to be presented to electric power or gas supplier if customer switches services.

This bill (S 1236) requires residential electricity and gas customers to provide specific identification when switching providers. To switch between electricity suppliers or gas providers, customers must submit either government-issued photo ID or non-photo ID plus a secondary ID (like a current utility bill, bank statement, or credit card). The new supplier must verify this ID with the utility company and cannot demand an account number if valid ID is provided. The bill also mandates a written or electronic signature for the switch, while allowing existing switching methods to continue. It applies to residential customers in New Jersey switching services.
