Permits interment of military working dogs at State-operated veterans' memorial cemeteries.

This bill (A 3844) allows military working dogs to be buried in New Jersey's state-operated veterans' memorial cemeteries, including the Brigadier General William C. Doyle Veterans' Memorial Cemetery. It defines "military working dog" as a dog that performed duties for the Department of Defense, such as tracking, explosive detection, patrol, search and rescue, or attack. The bill directly affects the burial eligibility of these dogs, which previously were not included in state cemetery provisions. It takes effect immediately upon enactment.
