Bill Summary

This bill requires a public utility to charge a nonprofit organization a residential rate for service delivered to the property at which the nonprofit organization primarily operates, if the residential rate is lower than the commercial rate for the service at that property. In consultation with the Board of Public Utilities, a public utility is to establish a reasonable procedure by which an organization may certify itself as a nonprofit organization with the public utility for this purpose.

AI Summary

This bill requires a public utility, which is a company that provides essential services like electricity or gas, to charge a nonprofit organization the lower residential rate for its primary operating location if that rate is less than the commercial rate. A nonprofit organization is defined as an entity that is tax-exempt under a specific section of the Internal Revenue Code (501(c)(3)) or is incorporated under New Jersey's Nonprofit Corporation Act. The bill also mandates that public utilities, working with the Board of Public Utilities, will create a process for these organizations to prove their nonprofit status to receive this reduced rate.
