Directs DOH to establish food bank for pets pilot program; appropriates $1 million.
This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Health to create a pilot program providing pet food for cats and dogs to owners facing financial hardship. Funded by a $1 million appropriation, the program will be operated by selected non-profit organizations and volunteer groups working with the state, including establishing food banks in communities. The Department must report to the Governor and Legislature after one year on whether to make the program permanent, and includes liability protections for donors and recipients of pet food distributed in good faith.
