Animal Welfare

Summary

The bill would make it a felony for an adult to cause or entice a child to commit animal cruelty, and would require any minor who harms an animal to undergo a psychological evaluation and possibly counseling, with the cost paid by the parent or the state. It also mandates that the Department of Law Enforcement publish the names and details of people convicted of animal‑cruelty offenses online for set periods, while allowing a petition process for removal under certain circumstances.
