This bill mandates that electric public utilities in New Jersey develop and submit a vegetation management plan to the Board of Public Utilities within six months of the bill's enactment. The plan must include a map identifying areas needing vegetation management, a description of the required management actions for each area, and a timeline for when these actions will be taken. Furthermore, utilities are required to maintain and submit this plan annually to the board.

The bill also outlines the board's responsibilities, which include determining criteria for what constitutes dangerous vegetation, establishing criteria for the vegetation management plans, and reviewing submitted plans to approve or reject them within 60 days. An appeal process is also established for utilities whose plans are rejected. The bill defines vegetation management as actions taken to clear, move, cut, or destroy dangerous vegetation as necessary.
