MINOR
The bill was renumbered from A5402-A to A5402-B and expanded its list of sponsoring Assembly members. The core policy content regarding the Public Service Commission's authority to limit utility cost recovery remains unchanged, though a minor technical adjustment changed the new paragraph designation from (m) to (n).
Scope change
The bill's substantive scope and applicability remain unchanged; only the procedural metadata and internal paragraph numbering were modified.
TECHNICAL
The bill number was updated from A5402-A to A5402-B, and the list of sponsoring legislators was expanded to include four additional members.
The internal paragraph designation for the new commission rule was changed from (m) to (n), likely due to a prior amendment or renumbering within the legislative process.
