Establishes limits on zoning restrictions for the installation of small electric battery storage equipment.

The bill amends the "Municipal Land Use Law" to establish limits on how local zoning codes may restrict the installation of small electric battery storage equipment. It defines "small electric battery storage equipment" as equipment of up to 25 kilowatts in capacity. At residential properties, such equipment is considered a permitted accessory use and structure, exempt from variance requirements. For commercial or industrial properties, applications for installation are not subject to site plan review or variance relief, and are approved through a zoning permit if certain conditions are met.
