Bill Summary
This bill would require the Board of Public Utilities to promulgate rules and regulations to allow low- and moderate-income residential customers to self-attest to the residential customer's income for participation in a community solar program established pursuant to P.L.2018, c.17 (C.48:3-87.8 et al.).
AI Summary
This bill requires the Board of Public Utilities (BPU), a state agency that regulates utilities, to create new rules allowing residents who qualify as low- or moderate-income to prove their income for participation in community solar programs simply by self-attesting, meaning they can declare their income status without needing to provide extensive documentation. This change applies to community solar programs established under a specific law (P.L.2018, c.17), which aims to make solar energy more accessible. The BPU will determine the specific format and method for this self-attestation.
