Requires electric public utilities to obtain written consent and provide written disclosure prior to installing smart meters.

This bill requires electric public utilities in New Jersey to get written permission from customers before installing smart meters. It also mandates that utilities provide a written disclosure explaining what data the meter will collect, how it will be used, and whether it could be shared with third parties. The law defines smart meters as devices that track electricity usage in detail, such as on an hourly basis, and can remotely control power to a home. This measure aims to ensure customers are informed about privacy implications before their meters are upgraded.
