Bill > A2937

This bill prohibits the State of New Jersey from mandating the use of electric heating or water heating systems in buildings until the Department of Community Affairs issues a report on the costs and impacts of such a mandate. The report will examine the costs of retrofitting or constructing buildings with electric systems, the impacts on electricity rates and low-income ratepayers, the potential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and the effects on workers in the fossil fuel industry. The bill also allows for voluntary programs to incentivize the use of electric heating and water heating systems, and does not prevent individuals from choosing to use such systems.
