Establishes Domestic Violence Shelter Pet Grant Program to provide funds to house pets in shelters with their owners.
This bill establishes a Domestic Violence Shelter Pet Grant Program within New Jersey's Department of Human Services. It provides funding to domestic violence shelters to cover costs for pets of victims, including food, medication, supplies, and veterinary care, allowing pets to stay with their owners during shelter stays. Shelters must apply to the Commissioner of Human Services for grants up to $50,000 each, with priority given to shelters housing more pets. The program is funded by a $1,000,000 appropriation from the state General Fund.
