Full text of New Jersey New Jersey Statutes § 48:2-29, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 48:2-29.
The Legislature finds and declares that: a. During periods of excessive heat, the health of individuals with disabilities,
senior citizens, and others can be severely compromised if those individuals do not
have adequate ventilation or air conditioning; b. Each summer, some at-risk individuals die from dehydration during periods of sustained
heat, and others have had their health severely compromised; and c. In view of the severity of the impact of sustained heat on the physical well-being
of at-risk individuals, it is the public policy of this State to ensure that these
individuals, their financial circumstances notwithstanding, are not deprived of electrical
power during periods when the amelioration of the effects of high heat and humidity
is essential to their health and welfare. The Legislature therefore determines that it is necessary for the Board of Public
Utilities to develop and administer a program that ensures that the individuals most
at risk will not experience an interruption in their electrical supply as a result
of the suspension of service by an electric public utility.
