Requires licensing of pet groomers and registration of certain other businesses; establishes certain licensing and operating requirements.

New Jersey's S 264 requires all individual pet groomers to obtain a state license (age 18+, moral character, and passing a practical/written exam) and mandates that pet grooming businesses register with the State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners. The bill establishes licensing for training schools, sets facility standards (including separate caging, sanitation, 24/7 surveillance cameras, and 60-day video retention), and requires businesses to maintain incident reports for injuries, illnesses, or escapes. Registration fees must cover administrative costs, and businesses must provide proof of liability insurance. This directly affects pet groomers, training schools, and all businesses offering pet grooming services in New Jersey.
