Establishes certain water and wastewater utility shutoff protections for tenants.

Summary

The bill forces water and wastewater utilities to provide at least 30 days written notice before cutting service to a tenant. It bars utilities from shutting off service to renters who are not the utility’s customer of record or who live in multi‑unit buildings with a single service connection, and it makes the property owner (the customer of record) responsible for any unpaid bills. The Department of Community Affairs and the Board of Public Utilities must inform utilities and the public and adopt rules to enforce these protections.
