Overview
This bill requires New Jersey public utilities, like those providing electricity, gas, water, or sewer, to take responsibility for issues customers experience with work done by contractors hired by the utility. It mandates that utilities respond to and resolve customer complaints about non-elective work performed by these contractors, and establishes a process for documenting these responses. Furthermore, the bill holds utilities liable for property damage caused by contractor work unless a contract specifically states otherwise.
