NJ S1928

Electric utilities must separately list the Sales and Use Tax amount on each customer's electricity bill, distinct from other charges in the purchase price.

The societal benefits charge must appear as a separate line item on electricity bills, with an itemized breakdown showing how much goes to each societal benefits program (including social programs, nuclear decommissioning, demand side management, and manufactured gas plant remediation).

Clean energy charges, including Zero Emission Certificate program costs and energy efficiency charges not part of the societal benefits charge, must be listed separately on customer bills.

The bill takes effect six months after enactment and applies to all retail electricity customers in New Jersey.

Sponsored by Senator Latham Tiver (District 8 - Atlantic and Burlington) and pre-filed for the 2026 legislative session.
