Clarifies that compensation may be paid for expenses related to service animals required due to injuries resulting from crime against victim.

This bill amends New Jersey's victim compensation law to include expenses for service animals required due to crime-related injuries. It specifically allows victims to claim compensation for costs related to procuring or treating a service animal, as defined by the federal Americans with Disabilities Act. The change applies to victims who need service animals because of injuries sustained during a crime, covering reasonable out-of-pocket expenses like veterinary care or training. The amendment updates Section 12 of P.L.1971, c.317, to explicitly include these costs under "other services" in victim compensation claims.
