Bill > S623

This bill amends existing New Jersey law to prohibit solid waste collectors from billing for residential collection services more than 30 days in advance of the actual service, meaning customers cannot be charged for services more than a month ahead of time. The bill also requires these collectors to inform their residential customers in writing about this new 30-day billing limit within 10 days of the law taking effect. Furthermore, it clarifies that the "department," referring to the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), is responsible for establishing rules and regulations regarding this matter, and that failure to comply with these provisions could lead to the revocation or suspension of a collector's certificate of public convenience and necessity or registration, which are permits allowing them to operate.
