Establishes transporting for slaughter, selling or otherwise providing for slaughter, or slaughtering gestating cow as crime of fourth degree; establishes criminal and civil penalties therefor; designated as Brianna's Law.

S 3080, designated as Brianna's Law, prohibits transporting, selling, or slaughtering pregnant cows (gestating cows) in New Jersey. It directly affects farmers, livestock transporters, and slaughter facilities that handle pregnant cows. The bill amends animal cruelty laws to classify violating this prohibition as a fourth-degree crime, imposing fines of $3,000 to $10,000 per conviction, overriding existing fine provisions. This law specifically targets the treatment of pregnant cows, adding a new criminal penalty to existing animal welfare statutes. The bill was introduced in the Senate on January 13, 2026, and referred to the Economic Growth Committee.
