Animal Cruelty

Summary

The bill would make failing to report suspected animal cruelty a disciplinary ground for veterinarians and related professionals, and it clarifies that vets may share medical records when they suspect cruelty. It creates new reporting duties, grants immunity for good‑faith reports, and imposes misdemeanor penalties for altering records to hide abuse. The measure died in the Criminal Justice Committee and never became law.
