New Jersey Statutes, Title: 48, PUBLIC UTILITIES

    Chapter 3: Unjust or unreasonable discriminations or classifications of rates; "board" defined

      Section: 48:3-75: Expedited judicial review of bondable stranded costs rate orders

           26. In order to maximize the rate savings to customers of the electric public utility under a bondable stranded costs rate order, which order may be time-sensitive because financial market conditions may affect the feasibility and terms of transition bonds approved for issuance therein, the parties involved in proceedings resulting in such an order shall attempt to expedite judicial review pursuant to the following procedures:

a. Upon the issuance of a bondable stranded costs rate order, the board shall forthwith cause a certified copy of such order to be served upon each party entitled thereto. The electric public utility shall, within 10 days of such service upon it, file with the board its written consent to such order or its objections thereto.

b. Any party to the proceedings resulting in a bondable stranded costs rate order who claims to be aggrieved by such order, including but not limited to any electric public utility which has withheld its consent and objected thereto or any financing entity interested therein, may seek judicial review of such order in accordance with the applicable Rules Governing the Courts of the State of New Jersey and the provisions of this act. Such judicial review shall be the exclusive remedy for the parties involved in a proceeding resulting in a bondable stranded costs rate order and no petition for rehearing to the board shall be made or entertained.

c. Any party seeking judicial review under this section shall file a motion for expedited consideration of the appeal before any appellate court in which an appeal may be pending on the ground that acceleration is warranted because the subject of the appeal involves matters of important public interest.

L.1999,c.23,s.26.
