48:3-65. Orders become irrevocable upon issuance
16. a. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, each bondable stranded costs rate order and the transition bond charges authorized therein shall become irrevocable upon the issuance of such order and its becoming effective pursuant to section 19 of this act. The bondable stranded costs rate order, the transition bond charges and the bondable transition property shall constitute a vested, presently existing property right upon the transfer to an assignee and receipt of consideration for such bondable transition property. Following such transfer and receipt of consideration, such property right in bondable transition property shall be vested ab initio in such assignee.

b.Neither the board nor any other governmental entity shall have the authority, directly or indirectly, legally or equitably, to rescind, alter, repeal, modify or amend a bondable stranded costs rate order, to revalue, re-evaluate or revise the amount of bondable stranded costs, to determine that the transition bond charges or the revenues required to recover bondable stranded costs are unjust or unreasonable, or in any way to reduce or impair the value of bondable transition property, nor shall the amount of revenues arising with respect thereto be subject to reduction, impairment, postponement or termination, provided, however, that nothing in this section shall preclude adjustments of the transition bond charges in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (2) of subsection a. and of subsection b. of section 15 of this act.
