S 2909 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Prohibits sewerage authorities, municipal authorities, and local units of government from charging interest on unpaid sewer fees and charges attributable to State or local entities, including housing authorities.

This bill prohibits sewerage authorities from charging interest on unpaid sewer fees for properties owned by the State, local governments, or their agencies (including housing authorities). It amends existing law to explicitly exclude these entities from interest charges that previously applied to unpaid sewer service fees. The key change removes the 1.5% monthly interest rate and lien rights for these properties, while maintaining standard collection procedures for other property owners. The policy directly affects state/local government entities and housing authorities that pay sewer fees for their properties.
