This bill establishes regulations for electric public utilities in New Jersey regarding customer billing during service interruptions and the maintenance of street lights. Specifically, it prohibits electric public utilities from charging customers for electricity usage during any service interruption, defined as the cessation of electric service. Additionally, for each billing cycle that includes a service interruption, utilities must reduce fixed charges on customer bills proportionately to the duration of the interruption.

Furthermore, the bill mandates that electric public utilities repair any damaged or defective street lights under their jurisdiction within 10 business days of receiving notice of the issue. Until the street light is repaired, the utility is also prohibited from charging customers for electricity usage or fixed charges associated with that street light. This legislation aims to protect consumers from being billed for services not rendered and to ensure timely maintenance of public infrastructure.
