New Jersey A4631 prohibits the Board of Public Utilities from hiring certain third-party consultants and requires disclosure of prior clients.

New Jersey A4631 aims to ensure unbiased decision-making by the Board of Public Utilities (BPU) by prohibiting the hiring of third-party consultants who have worked for a public utility or a public utility holding company within the past year. Additionally, the bill mandates that certain third-party consultants disclose a list of public utilities they have contracted with in the prior three years, which must be published on the websites of those utilities. This measure seeks to maintain transparency and fairness in the BPU's decision-making process.
