Summary

The bill requires anyone 18 or older convicted of animal abuse to register with the state, providing personal and biometric data. The information—except the registrant’s Social Security number—will be publicly available and shared with law‑enforcement, humane societies and related businesses. Failure to register or providing false data would be a Class E felony.
