Overview
This bill requires that any newly constructed grocery store in New Jersey be equipped with an automatic standby emergency power generator. The goal is to ensure that these stores can continue to operate and provide essential food and supplies to the public during power outages, particularly after events like Hurricane Sandy. The Department of Community Affairs will create regulations for the installation and maintenance of these generators. This legislation supplements existing construction code regulations.
