Bill Summary

Waives pet adoption fees for certain military personnel and veterans.

AI Summary

This bill waives pet adoption fees for certain military personnel and veterans. Specifically, it prohibits kennels, shelters, or pounds owned and operated by local government units from charging a pet adoption fee to active members of the New Jersey National Guard who have completed initial active duty training, active members of any branch or department of the U.S. Armed Forces (including reserves), or veterans. The Secretary of Agriculture will prescribe the types of evidence that can be used to qualify for this benefit, and the kennel, shelter, or pound can adjust the pet adoption fee to offset any cost increases associated with forgoing the fee for eligible individuals.
