Bill overview
This bill aims to automatically enroll eligible New Jersey residents and households receiving public assistance into utility bill payment assistance programs. It requires the Department of Human Services and the Department of the Treasury to share information with relevant state agencies about those receiving needs-based public assistance. Based on this information, agencies like the Department of Community Affairs and the Board of Public Utilities will automatically enroll eligible households into programs like the Universal Service Fund, the Winter Termination Program, and the Summer Termination Program, unless those programs offer one-time assistance.
