Requires certain correctional facilities to allow service and companion animals to assist inmates with disability; makes appropriation.

This bill requires New Jersey state correctional facilities to allow inmates with disabilities to use service animals (trained to perform tasks) or companion animals (pets for emotional support) under a new program. Inmates must apply through the Department of Corrections, with requests for new animals evaluated within 30 days for feasibility and need. The program mandates vaccination documentation for animals and requires the Department of Corrections, with input from the Department of Human Services, to establish rules for animal care, safety, hours of use, and logistical procedures. The bill appropriates state funds to cover implementation costs.
