Requires utility service providers to notify BPU of scheduled service work; permits government agencies and utility service providers to access BPU online database of scheduled service work.
S 383 requires utility service providers (like electric, gas, water, and sewer companies) to submit electronic notices of scheduled work to New Jersey's Board of Public Utilities (BPU) at least five business days in advance, except for emergency repairs. The BPU must create and maintain a real-time online database showing the date and type of scheduled utility work, accessible to all government agencies and utility providers. This database helps coordinate roadwork and other activities in public rights-of-way by improving communication between agencies and utility companies. The bill does not change utility service standards but streamlines planning for infrastructure projects.
