AI Summary

This bill prohibits the adoption of any State rule or regulation mandating electric heating or water heating systems in buildings prior to the issuance of a report by the Department of Community Affairs (DCA). The bill requires the DCA, in cooperation with the Department of Environmental Protection and the Board of Public Utilities, to hold public hearings and prepare a report that examines the costs, impacts, and potential benefits of electrifying space and water heating in residential and commercial buildings, as well as the implications for meeting the State's greenhouse gas emissions reduction goals. The bill aims to ensure that any regulatory actions related to building electrification are informed by a comprehensive assessment before being implemented.
