"Electricity Bill Transparency Act"; requires electric utilities to separately list amounts of certain charges.
S 1928, the "Electricity Bill Transparency Act," requires electric utilities in New Jersey to list the exact amount of state sales tax separately on customer bills, distinct from other charges like service fees or energy costs. This directly affects electricity providers, who must modify billing systems, and retail customers, who will see a clear breakdown of tax amounts. The key provision mandates that utilities include a dedicated line item for the tax attributable to each customer's bill, as specified in amended Section 14(e) of the Sales and Use Tax Act. The bill does not create new taxes but ensures existing sales tax is itemized for greater clarity in billing.
