Relates to establishing the animal abuse hotline
This bill establishes a 24-hour, toll-free animal abuse hotline that the New York Attorney General must create. It directly affects the public (who can report abuse), animal protection organizations (who may administer the hotline), and state/local agencies (who receive immediate reports). The key mechanism requires the hotline to instantly forward all abuse allegations to relevant agencies or animal protection groups via phone and electronic transmission. The hotline must be publicly advertised, and the law takes effect 180 days after enactment.
