AI Summary
This bill directs the Department of Health to establish an animal abuser registry on its website, which will include the full legal names, photos (if available), and any other information permitted by law to properly identify people convicted of criminal animal cruelty violations. The bill also updates current law to require courts to notify the Commissioner of Health when someone is found guilty of such violations, so the Commissioner can use the registry to maintain a list of people ineligible to be certified as animal control officers due to their animal cruelty convictions.
