Regulates performance of pet grooming services.
New Jersey's S 2446 requires pet groomers (individuals or businesses) who face three or more verified complaints about negligent grooming within a year to register with the Division of Consumer Affairs. Negligent grooming includes pet injuries requiring veterinary care, severe illness, escapes, or death. The Division investigates complaints filed by pet owners within 90 days, publishes a public registry of registered groomers with details of incidents, and enforces a $1,000 daily penalty for non-compliance. This bill directly affects pet groomers by creating a registration system tied to complaints and aims to inform consumers through public transparency.
