A 744 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes NJ Animal Abuser Registry.

This bill would establish the New Jersey Animal Abuser Registry, requiring individuals convicted of animal abuse offenses to register with law enforcement. Registered offenders must provide personal information, verify their address annually, and report changes in residence or employment. The registry would make certain information publicly available online for offenders deemed to have a moderate or high risk of re-offense, while restricting access for low-risk offenders. The registry aims to protect public safety by providing information about animal abusers to law enforcement and the public, based on research linking animal abuse to potential violence against humans.
