New Jersey legislature passes Pet Purchase Protection Act By unanimous vote, the New Jersey legislature recently passed the amended Pet Purchase Protection Act, which requires that pet store owners disclose the source of the puppies they sell, according to an AAHA NEWStat report. The bill also blocks stores from obtaining animals from breeders who are not in compliance with state and federal animal care and welfare laws. The bill is awaiting the signature of Gov. Chris Christie. The bill requires pet stores to provide consumers with breeder information about each cat or dog being offered for sale. Information must be posted on each cage or enclosure in a pet shop or pet dealer premises and in Internet and print advertisements. The bill also requires pet stores to post instructions for consumers to electronically access United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) inspection reports for breeders that are licensed by the USDA, and establishes a $500 penalty for failure to comply with these requirements.
