Allows certain employees of DCPP to report animal abuse to humane law enforcement officer.

This bill allows employees of New Jersey's Division of Children Protection and Permanency (DCPP) to voluntarily report suspected animal abuse, cruelty, or neglect they witness while investigating child welfare cases. DCPP staff may report to local humane law enforcement officers or designated county authorities, filing detailed reports within two business days (or immediately if animal safety is at risk). The bill provides legal immunity for good-faith reports and requires reports to include specific details like the animal type, location, and witness information. It does not mandate reporting but enables cross-reporting between child welfare and animal welfare systems, with optional training for DCPP staff on identifying animal abuse linked to domestic violence.
