Bill overview
This bill requires New Jersey state agencies to use energy-efficient outdoor lighting fixtures when replacing or installing them. It mandates the use of ‘cutoff luminaires’ – fixtures that direct light downwards – and prioritizes energy conservation, reducing light pollution, and preserving the state’s nighttime environment. The bill outlines specific criteria for when replacement is required, excluding temporary uses and certain safety-related situations. It also establishes a timeline for implementation and references existing energy savings programs.
