12 S GREENSTEIN "Commercial and Industrial Unitary Air-Conditioning and Heat Pump Equipment" (ANSI Approved). (cf: P.L.00, c., s.). Section of P.L.00, c. (C.:-) is amended to read. The Board of Public Utilities [, in consultation with the Commissioner of Environmental Protection,] and the Commissioner of Community Affairs may cause periodic inspections to be made of distributors or retailers of new products covered by section of [this act] P.L.00, c. (C.:-0) in order to determine compliance with the provisions of [this act] P.L.00, c. (C.:- et seq.). The [board shall also work with the Commissioner of Community Affairs to coordinate the inspections for new products that are also covered by the standard building code of New Jersey] sale or offering for sale of any new product in violation of P.L.00, c. (C.:- et seq.), if there is no regular or intended use of the product other than in building construction or installation in a building or structure, or if the product is publicly advertised or otherwise promoted for use in building construction or installation in a building or structure, shall constitute a violation of paragraph () of subsection a. of section 0 of P.L., c.

The Attorney General may institute proceedings to enforce the provisions of [this act] P.L.00, c.. In addition, the Commissioner of Community Affairs shall enforce the provisions of P.L.00, c. pursuant to the State Uniform Construction Code Act, P.L., c. (C.:D- et seq.) with regard to any violation involving building construction or installation of any equipment or device in a building or structure. b. A manufacturer, distributor or retailer who violates any provision of [this act] P.L.00, c. (C.:- et seq.) shall be issued a warning by the board for any first violation. Repeat violations shall be subject to a civil penalty of not more than $0. Each violation of [this act] P.L.00, c. shall constitute a separate offense, and each day that the violation continues shall constitute a separate offense. Penalties assessed under [this act]

13 S GREENSTEIN P.L.00, c. are in addition to costs assessed pursuant to subsection c. of section of [this act] P.L.00, c. (C.:-) and to penalties assessed pursuant to the State Uniform Construction Code Act, P.L., c. (C.:D- et seq.). (cf: P.L.00, c., s.). (New section) The Commissioner of Community Affairs shall enforce the State Uniform Construction Code Act, P.L., c. (C.:D- et seq.) with regard to any violation of P.L.00, c. (C.:- et seq.) involving building construction or installation of any equipment or device in a building or structure.. Section of P.L.00, c. (C.:-) is amended to read. The Board of Public Utilities [, in consultation with the Commissioner of Environmental Protection,] and the Commissioner of Community Affairs may adopt, pursuant to the "Administrative Procedure Act," P.L., c. (C.:B- et seq.), any further rules and regulations as may be necessary to implement the provisions of [this act] P.L.00, c. (C.:- et seq.). (cf: P.L.00, c., s.). This act shall take effect immediately. STATEMENT This bill requires the Board of Public Utilities ( board ) and the Commissioner of Community Affairs to establish minimum energy efficiency standards for the following types of new products sold, offered for sale, or installed in the State: () bottle-type water dispensers; () commercial hot food holding cabinets; and () natural gas- and propane-fired residential furnaces. The bill also clarifies the minimum efficiency standard contained in current law for commercial clothes washers. Current law, P.L.00, c. (N.J.S.A.:- et seq.), established a minimum efficiency standard for commercial clothes washers by referencing a specific section of the California Code of Regulations. This bill would instead specify the standard rather than providing a reference to California s regulations. The board may propose to the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the General Assembly, and the chairs of the Senate Environment and Energy Committee and the Assembly Environment and Solid Waste Committee, or the respective successor committees, every three years a list of new standards for products not specifically listed in the bill. When considering new

14 S GREENSTEIN 0 products to propose, the board would need to determine that any new or increased efficiency standard for a certain product would serve to promote energy conservation in the State, be life cycle cost effective for consumers who purchase and use the new products, and be technologically feasible and economically justified. The bill does not apply to: new products manufactured in the State and sold outside the State; new products manufactured outside the State and sold at wholesale inside the State for final retail sale and installation outside the State; products installed in mobile manufactured homes at the time of construction; or products designed expressly for installation and use in recreational vehicles. The bill provides for joint rulemaking power for the board and the Commissioner of Community Affairs and coordinated enforcement of the requirements of the bill, as they apply to building construction and to the installation of equipment and devices in buildings and structures, including the selling or offering for sale of such items for use in buildings and structures, pursuant to the State Uniform Construction Code Act, P.L., c. (N.J.S.A.:D- et seq.). The bill further provides that any bottle-type water dispenser or commercial hot food holding cabinet sold or installed in the State and manufactured after January, 0 must meet or exceed the minimum energy efficiency standards set forth in the bill. Finally, the bill would provide that any residential furnace sold or installed in the State and manufactured after January, 0, or one year after a determination by the board and commissioner in consultation with the Attorney General, must meet or exceed the minimum energy efficiency standards set forth in the bill.
