Permits interment of military working dogs at State-operated veterans' memorial cemeteries.

New Jersey Assembly Bill A5417 allows military working dogs to be buried at state-operated veterans' memorial cemeteries, including the Brigadier General William C. Doyle Veterans' Memorial Cemetery. The bill defines "military working dog" as a dog that performed or currently performs Department of Defense services like tracking, explosive detection, patrol, search and rescue, or attack. This policy change directly affects military working dogs and their handlers by providing a dignified burial option at state facilities. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment, requiring no further administrative steps for eligibility.
