CRUELTY TO ANIMALS REGISTRY

SB 227 creates a public registry for adults convicted of cruelty to animals or extreme cruelty to animals in New Mexico. It requires these individuals to register with their county sheriff, providing personal details like name, address, Social Security number, and a photo. The Department of Public Safety will maintain a central online registry displaying the person's name, aliases, conviction details, and photo for public access. This registry must be updated if the person moves to a new county within the state.
