Bill > S2860

This bill amends existing New Jersey law to remove "demand side management programs" from the list of costs that can be recovered through a "societal benefits charge," which is a non-negotiable fee collected from all electric and gas utility customers to fund various programs. Essentially, this means that programs designed to help customers use less energy or use it more efficiently will no longer be funded through this specific charge. The bill also makes a minor change to a tax clearance certificate requirement for business assistance programs, removing the "clean energy program" from the list of programs requiring such a certificate.
