Requires legislative approval for energy master plan to become State policy.
S 2461 requires New Jersey's Energy Master Plan (EMP) and each 3-year revision to gain official state policy status only after the Legislature passes a concurrent resolution approving it within six months of the committee's adoption. The bill modifies existing law to mandate this legislative approval step, directly affecting the Energy Master Plan Committee (which develops the EMP) and the Legislature (which must act on the plan). Key provisions include requiring the committee to submit the EMP to the Legislature for approval within six months, with the plan becoming policy only if approved. This change ensures the Legislature has final authority over the state's energy policy direction before it takes effect.
