Bill > A5741

This bill requires the Schools Development Authority (SDA), a state agency responsible for school construction in New Jersey, to include a solar energy component, such as solar panels, in school facilities projects for the 31 SDA districts. Specifically, the requirement will apply to school facilities projects that are advanced by the SDA following the issuance of state bonds after the bill's effective date and are financed wholly or partially by those bonds. The bill allows the SDA to update its model school design program to implement these new solar energy requirements. The legislation aims to promote renewable energy infrastructure in school construction by mandating the inclusion of solar technology in new school facilities projects in designated districts. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment, enabling prompt implementation of the solar energy component requirement for future SDA school construction projects.
