      These Senate Floor Amendments require the collection  and posting of certain data on the Board of Public Utilities’ (board) website, as required by the bill,  to be done quarterly until 24 months after the effective date of the bill, instead of monthly until the 180 days after the termination of the executive orders declaring the state or emergency.  The amendments also require the board’s final report, prepared in consultation with the Department of Community Affairs, to be completed within 30 months of the effective date of the bill, instead of 180 days after the termination of the executive orders declaring the state or emergency.

      The amendments also clarify that certain data reported by the board refer to the same applicable time in 2019, instead of the same applicable month in 2019.

      Lastly, the amendments provide that each local utility is required to file and provide certain data, as required under the bill, in accordance with the timeframes and methods established for public utilities under the bill.
