Animal Welfare

Summary

The bill adds crimes for adults who cause or encourage a minor to commit animal cruelty, and for minors who commit such acts. It requires juvenile courts to order psychological evaluation and treatment, with costs paid by parents or the state, and allows courts to hold parents in contempt for non‑compliance. It also obligates the Department of Law Enforcement to post identifying information about convicted animal‑cruelty offenders online for set periods.
