Designates October 3 of each year as "Companion Animal Cruelty Awareness Day" in New Jersey.

This bill designates October 3 of each year as "Companion Animal Cruelty Awareness Day" in New Jersey to raise public awareness about animal abuse. The resolution requests that the Governor issue an annual proclamation encouraging citizens, organizations, and state agencies to participate in awareness activities and initiatives. It aims to educate the public on the definition of animal cruelty, promote early reporting of incidents, and reaffirm the state's commitment to humane treatment of companion animals. The bill is a symbolic joint resolution that does not create new laws or funding but serves to highlight the issue of animal cruelty as a public safety concern.
