The proposed bill establishes the Water Conservation and Reuse Study Commission in New Jersey, aimed at addressing the state's ongoing water scarcity challenges. The commission will be independent but allocated to the Department of Community Affairs and will consist of 19 members, including key state commissioners and 16 public members appointed by the Governor. Its primary responsibilities include examining existing policies related to water conservation, analyzing the benefits of water reuse technologies, measuring the impact of conservation incentives, and making recommendations for potential statutory changes.

The commission is tasked with issuing an interim report within 12 months and a final report within 24 months of its formation, detailing its findings and recommendations. The reports will be made publicly available on the Department of Community Affairs' website. This initiative underscores the importance of promoting sustainable water practices through technologies such as greywater recycling and rainwater catchment systems, ultimately aiming to secure a sustainable water future for New Jersey.
