Bill overview
This bill directs the New Jersey Department of Health (DOH) to create a pilot program called the ‘Food Banks for Pets’ to provide pet food to financially struggling pet owners. The DOH will work with non-profit organizations and volunteer groups to establish and operate these food banks. The bill allocates $1 million to fund the pilot program, and requires the DOH to report on its effectiveness after one year, potentially recommending a permanent program or its discontinuation.
