Bill overview
The "Healthy and Affordable Construction for Tomorrow Act" aims to reduce carbon emissions and improve public health by prohibiting the combustion of high-emitting substances in new buildings and structures in New Jersey. It mandates that the State Uniform Construction Code be amended to gradually phase out the use of qualifying substances, defined as those emitting high levels of carbon dioxide, starting with buildings under seven stories and expanding to all new construction after 36 months. The bill also establishes requirements for ‘all-electric ready’ infrastructure and mandates a report on necessary policy changes to support electrification.
