AI Summary

This bill permits small businesses to qualify for low-interest loans from the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (EDA) to cover the costs of an energy audit and the installation of energy efficiency or conservation equipment at their buildings. The EDA is required to establish and administer this loan program in consultation with the Board of Public Utilities and the Department of Community Affairs. An "eligible small business" is defined as one that is independently owned and operated, primarily operates within New Jersey, and meets any other criteria set by the EDA. The low-interest loans can cover up to 100% of the otherwise unreimbursed costs and have a maximum term of 10 years with an interest rate not exceeding the greater of 3% or half the prime rate.
