New Jersey A2907 prohibits public utilities from charging fees to customers who opt out of smart meter installations.

New Jersey A2907 prohibits public utilities from charging or collecting fees from customers who choose not to have a smart meter installed in their residences. A "smart meter" is defined as a device that measures, records, and transmits utility usage data to both the utility and the customer. The bill aims to help customers control their utility costs by eliminating the opt-out fee, allowing them to keep their analog meters without incurring additional charges. This act takes effect immediately.
