Waives pet adoption fees for certain military personnel and veterans.

This bill waives all pet adoption fees at local government-run animal shelters, kennels, and pounds for active-duty military personnel (including New Jersey National Guard members after initial training), reservists, and veterans. Shelters must accept military IDs or discharge papers as proof of eligibility, with verification standards set by the Secretary of Agriculture. To offset costs, shelters may adjust fees for non-eligible adopters. The waiver covers the full adoption fee, which typically includes veterinary services, vaccinations, and spaying/neutering.
