Not enough signal yet to read this bill's trajectory — we surface a likelihood only once there's real movement (stage, sponsorship, committee, or votes) to point to.

Prognosis reads this bill's own signals — stage, sponsorship breadth, committee status, recorded votes and cross-state momentum. Odds come from a model trained on which bills have become law.

In plain language

Electric public utilities must report to BPU after major outages.

Electric public utilities are required to submit a report to the Board of Public Utilities (BPU) after significant power outages. This aims to ensure accountability and improve responses to such events.
