SCR 19 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Encourages Executive Branch and local government entities to use optimization modeling tools to evaluate energy policies and support sustainable, cost-effective, and health-conscious planning.

SCR 19 is a non-binding concurrent resolution encouraging New Jersey's Executive Branch and local governments to explore energy-environment-economic modeling tools for planning. It directs these entities to use such tools to evaluate energy policies, assess tradeoffs between costs, emissions, and public health impacts, and align decisions with state climate and energy goals. The resolution specifically highlights the value of models developed by New Jersey public universities to support data-driven local planning. This is a procedural recommendation, not a law requiring specific actions.
