S 1381 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires organizations training disabled veteran assistance dogs to register with Division of Consumer Affairs and provide disabled veteran assistance dogs with vests or harnesses.

This bill requires non-profit organizations that train service dogs for disabled veterans to register annually with New Jersey's Division of Consumer Affairs. It mandates these organizations to provide handlers (disabled veterans) with vests or harnesses labeled "DISABLED VETERAN ASSISTANCE DOG" or "DVAD," featuring a logo identifying the dog as trained for veterans. Organizations must also issue ID cards with the handler's name, dog's details, and training organization upon request. Violating these requirements would be considered an unlawful practice under New Jersey's Consumer Fraud Act.
