Expands list of animals prohibited from use in traveling animal acts; limits certain exceptions to apply only at educational institutions.

This bill expands New Jersey's existing ban on using "wild or exotic animals" in traveling performances (like circuses on the road). It removes current exceptions for domestic animals (such as dogs, cats, horses, and cattle) and adds rabbits/hares and rodents to the prohibited list. The law now prohibits these animals in all traveling acts, except for educational outreach programs at schools or universities. It directly affects traveling entertainment venues, circuses, and carnivals that transport animals for performances. The key change is broadening the animal protections while restricting exceptions to strictly educational settings.
