S 2939 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Directs BPU to establish rebate program for purchase of zero-emission lawn equipment.

This bill directs New Jersey's Board of Public Utilities (BPU) to create a rebate program for residents and businesses purchasing zero-emission lawn equipment, such as electric mowers or leaf blowers. Rebates are calculated as 25% of the purchase price, capped at $50 for equipment under $250, $100 for $250-$500 models, and $150 for equipment over $500. The program will be funded using the societal benefits charge, and the BPU must advertise rebates similarly to existing clean energy incentives. The bill requires the BPU to consider environmental benefits of reducing gas-powered equipment use but does not mandate specific participation or outcomes.
