Requires accountability of NJSPCA and county societies for prevention of cruelty to animals to Attorney General and county prosecutors, respectively.

This bill (A1092) requires the New Jersey Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (NJSPCA) and all 21 county animal welfare societies to obtain prior approval from their local county prosecutor before conducting investigations or law enforcement activities. The NJSPCA must also submit quarterly reports on its enforcement activities to the Attorney General and an annual report to both the Attorney General and the Legislature. County societies must similarly report quarterly to the NJSPCA, which then forwards these reports to the Attorney General. The bill directly affects animal welfare societies, county prosecutors, and the Attorney General by establishing formal accountability and reporting requirements for animal cruelty enforcement.
