S 462 requires all pet shops, grooming facilities, and pet daycares in New Jersey to install and maintain video monitoring systems in areas where animals are handled (such as kennels, grooming stations, or play areas), excluding staff break rooms or offices. Facilities must retain recordings for 30 days and provide them to authorities investigating animal cruelty, consumer fraud, or other violations. Non-compliant facilities face civil penalties of up to $500 for a first offense and $1,000 for each repeat violation. The law applies directly to commercial animal care businesses operating in the state.
