Includes animal cruelty against victim's animal within definition of domestic violence and other types of abuse; establishes immunity for reporting animal cruelty; mandates reporting of animal cruelty in certain circumstances.

This bill expands the definitions of domestic violence, child abuse, elder abuse, and abuse of persons with developmental disabilities to include animal cruelty against animals owned or cared for by the victim. It requires specific professionals - including veterinarians, child welfare workers, residential care facility employees, and law enforcement officers - to report suspected animal cruelty to appropriate authorities when they have reasonable cause to believe it has occurred. The bill provides civil and criminal immunity for anyone reporting in good faith, protecting them from liability related to the report. It also defines "animal cruelty" broadly to include violations of various animal welfare statutes and standards for domestic livestock.
